The telephone number 0488 859 546 epitomises a persistent and troubling issue: nuisance calls that disconnect immediately upon being answered, only to be followed by automated messages stating the number is not in service. This recurring phenomenon is not just an annoyance but a manifestation of a deeper pattern of coercive control and post-separation abuse, with repeat offenders exploiting and weaponising the telecommunications system. The persistence of these abuses—enabled by shortcomings in Western Australia’s stalking laws and insufficient legal remedies—has left affected individuals like myself and my family without adequate protection or recourse for years. It is therefore imperative for Australia to enact decisive new legislation that directly addresses this ongoing problem, closes existing legal gaps, and safeguards vulnerable individuals from such manipulative and damaging practices.
