Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (09:51): I rise today to reflect once again on the tragic murder of Celeste Manno by a man that she barely knew, who became obsessed with her after just one interaction. Celeste had previously complained to the police about a man who she had taken an intervention order out against at the time. The first time Celeste went to the police to express her concern about what was happening to her, with her mother Aggie, she was completely dismissed and it was not taken seriously – so much so that that interaction was not even placed on record. The system failed her, and she was murdered in her bedroom, in her safe space, in November 2020. This was truly a horrible case, and ever since, Celeste Manno’s mum Aggie Di Mauro has been fighting for change. I have previously spoken about the government’s failure to implement the recommendations from this inquiry, despite the fact that, year on year, non–family violence stalking has increased every single year without exception. Daniel Andrews at the time said that this was a terrible tragedy and that ‘if we can honour her memory by making changes, then that’s exactly what we will do.’ Today I would like to raise the fact that that has not been done more than five years later. However, a coronial inquest has now been announced. But Aggie said to me that until they have a date, they will not be happy. They are sick of broken promises and they need to see this delivered.
