    Your AM Headlines + We Need To Talk About Strangulation

    07/10/2026 | 10 mins.
    HEADLINES
    Australia has fallen behind its housing target
    Victoria's drug overdose deaths double state road toll
    Submissions to close for national women's health inquiry
    Lionel Messi scores in final match for Argentina
    Plus, in around half of all strangulation cases, there's no visible mark left on the skin. Melbourne Law School's Professor Heather Douglas explains why strangulation is hard to prosecute, why it's one of the biggest red flags for domestic homicide, and questions whether anyone can truly consent to it.
    If you or anyone you know needs expert help, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.
    Submit to the national women's health inquiry here.
