Faith Tkalac is the mother of Jari Wise who was killed after being struck by a car driven by his girlfriend Melissa Oates on Wilmot Road, Huonville, Tasmania, Australia. Oates was convicted of dangerous driving and sentenced to 14 months imprisonment.[1]

Faith is now actively raising awareness of domestic and intimate partner violence against all people regardless of gender and has recently proposed Jari's Law.

  • Jari's Law is about ensuring female offenders receive the same sentencing as male offenders.[6]
