NEVER let them take you to the second location



Australia and indeed Melbourne has been rocked by the rape and murder of Jill Meagher's.

As ABC radio host and colleague of Jill said on Friday, he doesn't want this to change the view we have of the muched loved Melbourne. This was a complete random attack and so very sad.

But this is a timely reminder: NEVER LET THEM TAKE YOU TO THE SECOND LOCATION!


I will never forget as a 13 year old watching this Oprah episode with my grandmother one school holidays when it first aired. I have NEVER forgotten that advice. I was attacked in a carpark, at Australia Fair shopping center in 1996. It was late night shopping on a Thursday at about 8pm. I didn't know what they wanted, but I knew in that moment that I was not going to be moved from my car. I remember hanging onto the steering wheel and not letting go. These men were never caught, but I remained safe and I am here to tell this tale.

Please share this link. It WILL save a life.

  1. It is indeed very sad and unfortunately, something that couldn't be helped. Random attacks are always the worst because it no longer means someone was targeted - someone on the street was just picked at random. It could have been any of us.
