A city honours the dead

View page

Melbourne is good at memorials. Remember when the streets were filled with women and men after the death of Jill Meagher? And then again, when Tracy Connelly died a year ago on July 21. There are flowers for Tracy, too, and a vigil, organised by Sally Tonkin and those she works with at St Kilda Gate

Jill's killer jailed

View page

HAMISH FITZSIMMONS: Jill Meagher was grabbed off the street by Adrian Bayley as she walked from a night out with friends and ABC colleagues on 22nd September last year. She was 500 metres from home and safety. No sentence can repair the damage done.

How does one make sense of the brutality of Jill Meagher's murder as she walked home after a night out with her colleagues and friends? How does one make sense of the the many lives that have been shattered by a man who committed this crime when he was out on parole for a series of violent rapes co

Bayley sentenced to life for Jill Meagher murder

View page

He went through the events of Jill Meagher's last night, last September. How she'd been out with friends from the ABC for drinks and how Bayley had come across her in the street in Melbourne's northern suburbs, followed her and then dragged her into a laneway and attacked her.

As we know, Bayley was released on parole in 2010 and as the judge pointed out he offended again almost immediately, attacking a man in Geelong. We know that he was convicted of that offence and then bailed, and of course as we know went on to murder Jill Meagher.

SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Yes, they were, Eleanor. Jill Meagher's husband, her parents and her brother were all in court. The court was packed. It's one of the very ornate courts in the Victorian Supreme Court building. The public gallery is upstairs.

Sam, we heard him just say that he's satisfied with this sentence - justice has been done. But Bayley was on parole when he murdered Jill Meagher. Was there much argument in court about whether he should have been marked never to be released?

So if someone cannot learn from this tragic, tragic outcome of the Jill Meagher case, then we as a community are lost completely and we are morally bankrupt and ineptitude as a community if we cannot learn from this?

Keeping women safe is everyone's responsibility

View page

The narrow focus on violence against women and sexual assault is part of the problem. As horrific as what happened to Jill Meagher is, men are more likely to be the victims of random violence than women. It's just that it's not sexual or domestic violence. We should be saying no to violence, full st

Melbourne marches for Jill Meagher

LEIGH SALES: You mention that people feel vulnerable and that we don't want to define our society by an event like this, but for women, when we talk to walk to a car alone night or we get off the bus and we have to walk a few blocks in the dark, what happened to Jill Meagher is our worst fear.
