article&lt;/a&gt; - excerpts from the victim impact statement:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The abuse has had long-lasting effects on my mental health," he wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I struggle to maintain existing relationships, let alone form new ones."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Richardson said he had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and described "overwhelming" panic attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The trauma continues to affect my daily functioning,"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The court also heard &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-02/kathryn-hay-court-emotional-abuse/104168990"&gt;Hay was previously convicted of assaulting Mr
Richardson,&lt;/a&gt; after a member of the public reportedly witnessed Hay slap
her then-husband in a carpark and called the police.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>australia</category><category>domestic-violence</category><category>politics</category><guid>http://dylanleigh.net/posts/2025/former-mp-kathryn-hay-given-suspended-prison-term-for-abuse-of-former-husband/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jul 2025 19:55:50 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Disability and Rarity of Updates</title><link>http://dylanleigh.net/posts/disability-and-rarity-of-updates/</link><dc:creator>Dylan Leigh</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haven't made any updates to this site or &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://drwxr-xr-x.org/"&gt;my "new" blog&lt;/a&gt; in over a year until I cleaned up and
posted &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://drwxr-xr-x.org/posts/2021/10/forms-of-life-part-2-cladistic-tree-of-life/"&gt;this biology article&lt;/a&gt;
a few days ago. Even before then, I hadn't made a post talking about
my disabilities and past and how badly it affects my ability to get
things done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post (&lt;a class="reference external" href="https://drwxr-xr-x.org/posts/2021/10/disability-and-updates/"&gt;originally on the new blog&lt;/a&gt;) will
explain some of those issues, what I've been up to since last year,
and what I might be able to do in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
