The family of former Hay student, Alicia Little, is spearheading a powerful campaign urging for greater cooperation between state borders to combat domestic violence. 

Their initiative, the Justice for Alicia Little Campaign, calls on Australian authorities to establish a national domestic violence offender database.

Remembering Alicia: A Life Beyond Violence

Alicia Little, a beloved daughter, mother, niece, and friend, tragically lost her life on December 28, 2017, in Kyneton, Victoria, at just 41 years old. 

She left behind four children and a family shattered by grief. When researching Alicia’s life, online searches are often dominated by the dreadful circumstances of her death. The creation of Alicia’s Law aims to ensure she is remembered for more than a life defined by someone else's violence.

Alicia had strong ties to the Back Country region and community, having attended Hay War Memorial High School and boarded at Claughton House while her family travelled with the Showmen’s Guild.

The Call for "Alicia's Law"

Alicia’s partner, Charles McKenzie Evans, was initially charged with her murder. However, the charge was later downgraded, and he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and failing to render assistance. He was sentenced to four years but served less than three.

Alicia’s aunt, Cindy Miller, powerfully articulated the family's anguish and their plea for change. "Charlie Evans took Alicia’s phone, hit her with his vehicle and ran over her," Cindy stated. 

"He left Alicia lying there bleeding and suffering in pain. He did not bother giving her any assistance or calling an ambulance."

Cindy continued. 

"Alicia died that day because of the brutal way in which Charlie Evans inflicted injuries on her. “Domestic violence is a heinous crime and someone convicted of this should be guilty Australia-wide. “That’s why we are calling for greater co-operation between interstate courts and justice systems."

The core of their appeal lies in preventing future tragedies. 

"No amount of penalty can bring back my lovely niece, but a changed law can help protect other victims like our Alicia from being robbed of their lives, their futures," Cindy emphasised. 

"This will make it difficult for abusers like Charlie Evans from repeating their violent acts and destroying more lives."
