Yeah.

So in a way, I sort of feel like I'm, I'm speaking for those kids now, you know, that, that are looking out the door and hoping someone comes along and saves them, you know? I talk a lot about how women are...

Everyone goes, "Why don't you just leave him? Why don't you just leave him?" Now, I used to watch my father knock my mother out against the fridge and hold her up with uppercuts when she was unconscious, and then the police would come, and by the time the police got there, f- u-s kids were given scripts to say to the police, she was given scripts to say to the police.

The one time that she did get the courage up to leave him, um, was the scariest moment of all, 'cause he went quiet and he disappeared.

She was in the room packing her bags.

She had the suitcases on the bed, and then he disappeared for a, for a few minutes, and he's come back upstairs, and I was sitting in the hallway, and then as he's come back through the door, he had a 20-liter jerry can full of petrol, and he just started dousing all the furniture, walked up the hallway where I was sitting, poured petrol over me, and he said to her, "Are you still gonna leave, [beep]?" And then he pulled his lighter out, and she had to submit.

She submitted to save my life.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So in 1999, I was charged for a murder.

Um, it was a, the, a girl, the mother of my child.

We had broken up.

Um, and she had a couple of young girls over babysitting this particular day while she was at work.

Um, she was walking the babysitters home once she'd finished work, and a carload of blokes had driven past and yelled out abuse out the window.

She had yelled back, responded.

Mm.

Yeah.
