Have to disagree on this, Anisha was older and I think just hadn't bonded with those particular girls who were leaving. The treatment of Victoria who is white and blonde is far worse. Not saying organisations like these don't have diversity issues, but that was not something that I think was an issue in this series (I'm half Indian and thought Anisha was incredible, but also understand why she was let go).

@carandwork No one would say this is acceptable behaviour, but anecdotal stories don't change the cold hard facts that acts of domestic and family violence are overwhelmingly committed by men. This type of abuse is a huge societal issue requiring systemic changes, education and greater support and it does indeed stop with men, there's no doubt about that. The situation you describe is not ok, and there will always be situations that are not ok, people that need to get help/be reprimanded etc, but that doesn't make it a social issue. Family and domestic violence committed by men is a social issue due to the sheer volume and that is where the changes are needed.

@cat the northern beaches outbreak went from in the 20s to in the 80s in the space of three days. Also when I visited a friend living in Coogee two months ago things were jam packed. Packed restaurants, heaving dance floors in Darlinghurst, long bar queues. I don't think it's fair to place any blame on how the general population in Melbourne are socialising, they are doing what's allowed, the same as everyone else.
