Holly Anne Davidson, just wanted to be the best mum to her daughter and live her life free of violence and coercive control.
Holly suffered an unexplained catastrophic head injury and died on March 5, 2020, in Darwin.
She was only 38 years old.
Holly endured years of coercive and physical violence, allegedly perpetrated by her partner. He is a serving police officer.
When police were notified of the abuse, they failed to investigate the allegations against their own colleague.
When Holly died, they failed to treat her death as suspicious, including setting up a crime scene.
Peta Davidson, Holly’s mum, is asking all Australians to join her in calling on the Federal Government to implement Holly’s Law. The RED HEART Campaign and Australian Femicide Watch have partnered with Peta to make this happen.
Holly’s Law: Holly’s Law: Inquiry into Australian police who commit domestic violence
Holly’s Law would see a specialised federal taskforce formed to investigate allegations of domestic violence involving police members across the country, and a public inquiry into police-perpetrated abuse, so we can get a clearer picture and understanding of how widespread domestic violence is among police members.
The task force would ensure those investigating alleged police abusers are at arm’s length to the perpetrators (in other words, colleagues not investigating colleagues).
Holly’s case reveals major issues with how Australian police forces handle allegations of domestic violence within their ranks.
