The mother of Mackenzie Anderson, the 21-year-old allegedly murdered by her former partner at Mayfield, has called for a review into how domestic violence offences are punished.

Tabitha Acret, who has also backed calls for a Royal Commission into domestic violence, said longer jail terms needed to be coupled with a greater emphasis on rehabilitation.
