I feel for Tony Veitch, and his victim. if I could give him a hug I would. I don't condone family violence, I educate people on how to screen for it and how to stop it.
But the media's obsession with this case has damaged everyone.
He got more publicity than any man in this country who has killed his partner, in fact the media don't do anything other than report the killing, once it is discovered that it was family violence, there is no more coverage.
If the media put the kind of effort into family violence that they put into this case, we could cut the rate of violence immediately.
Good luck Tony, can't wait to see and hear you in the media doing what you do so well, talking sport. You are one of the good guys, who lost control but at least you had the guts to front up and do something about it. I hope your dark days are gone and the black dog has finally left your side.
