Renewed focus on the scourge of domestic violence has followed the murder of Hannah Clarke and her three children by their father in Brisbane.
A range of reforms have been proposed in the wake of the horrific killings.
WHAT SPARKED THIS?
* Hannah Clarke, 31, and her three children were murdered by their father in the Brisbane suburb of Camp Hill on February 19.
* Their father, Rowan Baxter, set alight the car they were in. He died beside the road with a self-inflicted injury.
* An outpouring of grief from the community was evident at a vigil held five days after the attack, attended by more than 1000 people.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
* The Women's Legal Service Queensland called for immediate reform around domestic and family violence.
* Calls were made to outlaw controlling behaviour and psychological dominance.
WHAT IS THE STATE OPPOSITION'S PROPOSAL?
* The maximum jail term for strangulation should be doubled to 14 years, bringing the penalty in line with the offence of grievous bodily harm.
* New laws on "coercive control" by making an offence to commit acts which make people feel controlled, scared or dependent on another person.
* The Women's Legal Service would receive and extra $1 million and another $1 million would be made available for other services.
* Families fleeing domestic violence will be eligible for one-off payments of up to $2000.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
* Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she was happy to work with the opposition to tackle the problem.
* Out of respect for the Clarke family, Ms Palaszczuk said she would not be making any comment on the matter until after the funeral.
