Summary: The theme of this discussion paper is the incomplete implementation of the Domestic Violence Act 1995 by government agencies in New Zealand. Written by a group of survivors of domestic violence, the paper sets out issues with protection orders, payment of child support and tax policy that are seen to disadvantage victims and advantage perpetrators of domestic violence. The paper discusses the roles of various government agencies, including Health, Police, Justice, Inland Revenue, Social Development and Women's Affairs. Specific recommendations are addressed to each agency in relation to the lack of material assistance for women and children escaping domestic violence. This is known as the ISNO report. The spokesperson for the group was Lisa Close.
