Victoria issues 12,000 flawed family violence orders

news.yahoo.com

In Victoria, over 12,000 family violence intervention orders were issued with key wording missing due to a printing error. The orders, made between November 15, 2024, and March 5, 2025, lack the phrase “the court orders that the respondent must not.” The state government plans to introduce a bill to address this issue and ensure the orders remain enforceable. The attorney general confirmed that the orders are still valid and that safety has not been compromised. The government aims to fast-track the bill through parliament. Victoria police stated that the error does not affect the validity of the orders or their ability to enforce them.
