一名悉尼学校校长在一名学生被其前伴侣杀害后,轻描淡写了家庭暴力,这激起人们对他处理此案的不满。 A Sydney school principal downplayed domestic violence after a student was killed by her ex-partner, sparking outcry over his handling of the case.

2023年末,Lilie James在悉尼圣安德鲁大教堂学校被她的前伴侣Paul Thijssen谋杀。 In late 2023, Lilie James was murdered by her ex-partner, Paul Thijssen, at St Andrew’s Cathedral School in Sydney, an act confirmed as an intimate partner homicide. Shore学校校长约翰·科利尔博士在员工讲话时没有提及家庭暴力,而是将Thijssen描述为“绝对喜悦”,并侧重于男性自杀。 Shore School’s principal, Dr. John Collier, addressed staff without mentioning domestic violence, instead describing Thijssen as “an absolute delight” and focusing on male suicide. 包括前教师Clare Walker在内的女性工作人员提出了关切,但被解职。 Female staff, including former teacher Clare Walker, raised concerns but were dismissed. 科利尔(Collier)后来的通讯将暴力降到最低程度,并免除Thijssen的责任,引发公众和政治上的反弹。 Collier’s later newsletter minimized the violence and absolved Thijssen of accountability, sparking public and political backlash. 沃克感到被压制和没有得到支持, 于是退休, 辞职, 理由是文化忽视了妇女的安全, 并未解决教育中的强制性控制. Walker, feeling silenced and unsupported, went on stress leave and resigned, citing a culture that ignored women’s safety and failed to address coercive control in education.
