The news is difficult to swallow this week.
Three little girls, their mother and their grandmother are dead, making them the third family in Western Australia to be shattered by alleged mass family violence since May.
Two-year-old twin girls, Alice and Beatrix, and their three-year-old sister Charlotte were allegedly ripped from the world by their own 24-year-old father, Anthony Harvey, inside their suburban Perth home.
The Bedford man is also accused of killing his 41-year-old wife Mara and 74-year-old mother-in-law Beverley, before staying with their bodies for several days until he handed himself into police.

The delays in getting family court hearings in WA are astronomical. There is no excuse whatsoever for violence but we need to have a court system that helps the problem, not exacerbates the problem. Parents waiting over a year to get in court for help to regain contact with their children is an utter disgrace and a shame on conservative governments.
