The magistrates' opinions were canvassed on two issues: how well the Domestic Violence legislation dovetailed with the stalking provisions of the Queensland Criminal Code, as well as how comfortable they were in making domestic violence orders when the harassment involved little more than minor inconveniences for the complainant. Initial findings indicated that the majority of magistrates surveyed believed there was a good working relationship between the Domestic Violence Act and the stalking provisions of the Queensland Criminal Code. Also, the majority of magistrates were comfortable in making domestic violence orders when the harassment cited by the complainant did not involve the threat of physical violence. Those magistrates who were reluctant to issue protection orders under such circumstances stated that such behavior must be continuous, clearly intimidating and stressful to the complainant, and well documented. Survey questions and responses and stalking components of Queensland law are presented.
