SUNSHINE Coast Daily readers had an overwhelming support for a domestic violence offenders list. 

A proposal to allow people access to their partner's history of domestic violence and sexual assaults has been cautiously welcomed by representatives of Sunshine Coast domestic violence services.

But they also warn allowing access to people's criminal records could also open up a privacy can of worms.

The State Opposition has sought public feedback on the proposal.

The idea is modelled on the United Kingdom's Clare's Law, named after a woman who was murdered by her violent partner shortly after contacting police, who were unable to disclose anything about his history.

Daily Facebook readers weighed in on the debate.

In an online poll, 78% of respondents said people should have the right to look up their partner's domestic violence history if they had suspicions.

Here is a snapshot of your debate: 

Hayley Spender: I think any bad past history should be accessible! Child abuse and other criminal records would be good too!

Danielle Townsend: Absolutely - domestic violence history of both men and women

Angela Lomas: By allowing this law we can prevent any further domestic violence on ourselves.

Ben Tapp: Have to be careful as to ensure the prevention of discrimination against person's who may have been reformed. There maybe many psychological issues associated with creating public bias against offenders that have rectified their issues and reformed through correctional means. There needs to be a study because there maybe a potential trigger associated to a person re-offending because of the stigma associated. 

Annette Bryan:  Anything to reduce the chances of people getting into relationships with violence
Fay Cridland: Yes, I know women who drop the charges to allow them to divorce, otherwise the partner prevents the estranged partner to move on.

Samantha Lee: Yes agree 100%, but most cases domestic violence wont be reported so I guess you will never really know.

Annmaree Pearce: Absolutely! I would definitely do the check myself, after coming out of a relationship with a violent drug addict that acted like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. If I had known what I was dealing with, I would have saved myself the grief and continued the other way.

Cheridyn Bennett: While they are it they should also let family members look up the sexual offence history of anyone who may come into contact with their child.

Melissa Jones: You lose your right to personal privacy when you encroach on others freedoms! Yes!

Pete Boyd: It goes both ways in this argument. It's not always the male that does this, there are a lot of females out there that are just as bad but they never get reported because men are seen as weak when the shoe is on the other foot.

Orion Dauncey: It is ironic that a society questions whether or not honesty is a good idea. It's a good reflection of the type of society you are living in when lying is considered normal. The arguments against total human transparency with each other are circumstantial or ontological exceptions to the rule. Obviously an exception to the rule is not the rule.
