A DECADE ON FROM LOSING HER ONLY SON, ROSIE HAS SLOWLY LEARNT TO LIVE AGAIN
'I NEVER WANT PEOPLE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT LUKE'

In Rosie Batty's mind, her beloved son Luke is forever 11 years old, a sweet-natured, beautiful boy on the cusp of growing up".

"I think about him all the time and I think sometimes people don't know whether to say something about him or not," Rosie reflects.

"But I never want people to stop talking about him."

February 12 will mark 10 long, painful years since Luke was killed at the hands of his father Greg Anderson in a crime that shocked the nation. Greg walked up to Luke at his cricket training in Tyabb, VIC, hit him over the head with a bat and then fatally stabbed him. Greg also died at the scene.

In an instant, Rosie lost her whole world because of a mentally ill, vengeful man and a legal system that fails domestic violence victims time and again.
