ABSTRACT
All eight States in Australia have incorporated anti-stalking provisions into their legislation.85 As was mentioned previously, seven of these States adopt the list approach to the definition of stalking. However, a consideration of these legislative definitions immediately reveals that although the seven States define stalking by reference to a list of prohibited activities, the conduct included on these lists is not identical. Can it be said, then, that each State has formulated a unique definition of stalking and that there is no consensus between these States as to the conduct that constitutes stalking?
