We are doing it for Allison” is the video produced by family and friends of Allison Baden Clay to call on Queensland people to support a rally this Friday in Brisbane.

Already, the media is expecting thousands of people in Brisbane to join the  Allison Baden Clay rally to challenge last week’s court decision to down-grade the murder conviction of her husband, Gerard Baden Clay – to manslaughter.

All Brisbane residents who are against domestic and violence against women  – are asked to meet  at 12:15pm, King George Square on Friday, 18 December.

Some of my readers may remember the story of the mother-of-three I posted on this blog in August. Her body was found at Kholo Creek, Anstead on July 2012.  This creek is less than five minutes drive from our house.

At that time, her husband had already told police he did not know of her whereabouts. Baden-Clay, 45, reported his wife missing in April 2012 and her body was found 10 days later. During the trial last year, he denied killing his wife. There is a lot of media coverage of Allison’s death and you can read the ABC timeline on the events of her death. Gerard Baden Clay was found guilty on July 15, 2014 and convicted for murder. He was serving that sentence until his appeal and the court’s decision last week to give him a lesser penalty.

Allison comes from Brookfield, one of several local communities in  Western Suburbs and our family property was bought from Baden Clay’s real estate business over four years ago. Please share this post and if you can make it – see you at the rally.

    1. We shall see what happens after today Kev. But it has to go to a higher court. If there is a public outcry about a decision like this from general public and business houses…to me, it means something is not right.

      1. Stuff like this happens a lot here in the US and when the public finds out about what happened they won’t change the sentence. So hopefully the sentence will stay the same.
