In recent weeks, Chinese actor Jiang Jinfu's name has been scrolling across Weibo and the media with key words. From the beginning unknown onlookers suddenly found that Jiang Jinfu admitted to beating his current girlfriend, then gradually found that his girlfriend on social media broke photo, and then a friend sent a reversal.
Then to broadcast relevant news on Japanese television, show industry friends have sent Weibo regret to support, informed netizens posted a test report on Weibo, the whole process as if roller coaster ups and downs, can only be described as "really a big show" to describe.
Although we do not know what the reasons for Jiang Jinfu to his girlfriend, and on the entanglement between the two are also diverse views; No matter how much they eat, they can only depend on the final judgment of Japan's court, but one indisputable fact that Jiang has admitted himself is that he did commit violence behavior to his girlfriend, in other words, that he had "domestic violence" on his girlfriend.
In the traditional Chinese concept, "domestic violence" is a private affair that has nothing to do with outsiders. Therefore, many grass-roots police in China will adopt mediation methods to "turn big things into small ones and small ones". Even in the existing public opinion, only on the level of "hitting people", can it be regarded as "domestic violence" in the real sense. However, many "Chiang Jin-fu" hold such an idea, after arriving in Australia, not notice or impulse, go to the police station "tea" only to find the big things bad.
Because in Australia, the definition of "domestic violence" is very broad. Australia's Family Act contains clear regulations and explanations to define the offences, as well as a resource book (including the Chinese version) in states and territories to provide residents with a detailed understanding of family violence and how to deal with family violence.
In the definition of the Australian Family Act, family violence occurs in a variety of forms, including:
- Physical abuse: beating, hitting, kicking, slapping, choking, etc., as well as the use of weapons, including the destruction of private property
- Language abuse: abuse, defamation, contempt, stigmatization, and threat sexual behavio
- Economic abuse: restrictions on the use of money and commodities, or no control over them
- Sexual abuse: forced or forced sexual behavio
- Social abuse: restrictions on contact with or obstruction of family and friends
- Mental abuse: preventing religious or religious use against victims
Even in law brochures in New South Wales, details are given on how to make sure that you have received a family violence.
So is the relationship like "boyfriend and girlfriend" in Jiang Jinfu's case recognized by the Family Law? The answer is "yes", too. In Australia, it is not necessary to obtain law recognition of a husband and wife relationship through marry. The "de facto marriage" state of cohabitation is also protected by the Family Law. And if there is no cohabitation relationship between male and female friends violence behavior, then it directly constitutes personal injury, which directly jumped to the criminal law, may face a more serious accusation.
At the same time, domestic violence is protected by children, same-sex couples, any family member may be the victim / survivor of the family violence; any family member may be the perpetrator of the use of the family violence. Therefore, regardless of sex, as long as the victim of domestic violence, there is a police report, or submitted to the court to apply for a ban on domestic violence rights.
Domestic violence prohibition (APPREHENDED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ORDER), ADVO, for short is a law that protects the victim and sets conditions for the perpetrator's behavior to restrict his or her behavior. In emergency situations, such as Jiang Jinfu's girlfriend, who has already suffered a large number of injuries to the police, the police will issue a home violence security notice directly and apply to the court for a formal ADVO.. The injunction, which is applied by the police, is irrevocable because the police believe that its conduct constitutes a criminal act or is about to constitute a criminal act.
And after ADVO sent out, the perpetrato
- Will never harm, harassment, threat, stalking or intimidating victims.
- Never enter, stay, or approach the victim's home or workplace.
- Never contact a victim directly or indirectly
- Never approach the victim.
ADVO does not allow the perpetrator to leave a criminal record. But if the perpetrator violates any of these articles, whether it is autonomous or at the request of the victim, it is a serious criminal offence. A man in Australia had received a call from his wife for help because of his child's fever, hoping he would take the child to a hospital. But by this time the court has taken effect on his ADVO. The man was witnessed by a neighbor after he came to the door, and the man was sentenced to imprisonment by arrest after the neighbor called the police.
Not only will a violation of ADVO leave a criminal record, but if you are applying for PR or preparing to become naturalized, it will be cancelled, along with the cancellation of the original visa.
And domestic violence-related law is not related to the nationality of both sides. Local Chinese media have reported that a Chinese man has come to Australia on a temporary spouse visa to reunite with his wife, who has been granted permanent status. But one day when the two men argued, the man put his hand to his wife. After the police issued ADVO, the man's visa was cancelled and repatriated. ADVO records will also have a direct impact on his future entry to Australia and will not be able to apply for an Australian visa.
In another case, a Chinese woman applied for a spouse's visa in Australia after suffering from a family called violence, who was already PR's husband. Worried that she would lose her visa after the police was repatriated, the woman has long chosen to escape. One day, however, a neighbor found him injured and was taken to a hospital. Police issued ADVO, to the woman's husband, who, with the help of law, remained permanently in Australia and leave took her husband.
So no matter what visa or identity you hold, a violation of family law constitutes a home atrocity, and the victim of domestic violence is protected by Australia's authorities. Australian support for home violence is even available 24 hours a day. If you need support or counseling, just call 1800. If the language is not available, you can also use the national translation service, dial 131450.
In addition, if suffering from violence behavior, resulting in trauma, you can ask a doctor or the police for help. In case of emergency, you must call the police immediately and call the 000 emergency hotline. There are also various law aid organizations available for help, and simplified Chinese versions of the law aid information book can also be found online.
In any case, if domestic violence is not taken seriously in Australia, there will be serious consequences. Because in Australia's law, it is clear that:
