When Daniel Jones met Sarah Jane Parkinson in 2011, he thought he had met the love of his life.
From the moment they first met at their workplace in Canberra, the couple’s relationship moved fast.
Within just a few short months, Daniel and Sarah were engaged as the pair began building their own home and planning their wedding.
But just days after moving into their new home together, Daniel was served with an apprehended violence order (AVO).
Despite protesting his innocence, police brought a number of charges against Daniel.
“I’d just built a house and she’d moved in with me, everything was going well,” he told 60 Minutes.
“I had everything right… and in that instance, everything just went to sh*t.”

Is this the type of "policing" one can expect in Australia (or at least ACT)? How can police act like this without any inquiry into their lack of professional conduct (Thank God for Leesa Alexander). Why were social workers and forensic psychologists not involved - they would surely have picked up the lies very early.
The demand for retribution cannot be over emphasized. Parkinson who is obviously a psychopath only gets 3 years - She should be held accountable together with her police friends for the costs and trauma to the Jones family.
I can only hope Daniel can find the strength to rebuild his life and find someone if he wants to have the happy ever after he deserves, and that dog pays for her crime tenfold everyday for the rest of her miserable life.
