I never want anyone to be sitting where I'm sitting and to have lost their son, because I can never get Luke back.

I never want anyone to be sitting where I'm sitting and to have lost their son, because I can never get Luke back.

I want to tell people that family violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are.

Children have very little voice, and the coroner's inquest is about Luke's voice, and making sure Luke is heard and respected and honoured. I don't want him to have died in vain.

Family violence is an entrenched epidemic that we've lived with since time began, so we've got a long way to go. But I do believe the tide is turned. It's no longer a subject that only occurs behind closed doors

What we want is to make sure that people don't go through what I'm going through ... and we have to understand that even since Luke's death, children have been killed.

Let's start calling family violence 'terrorism' and then maybe we will start to see that investment of funding applied to where it needs to be.
