Buy gun.
Oh yeah, you Aussies confiscated them years ago. I guess you now understand why it's written into the US constitution - don't worry I'm not condescending, we're basically on the same course here.
If you want to chase after the man, find a good lawyer.
But also buy a gun.
If you want to permenantly end the problem see "eye for an eye" with Sally Field. I'm not kidding.

The ‘Australia says NO’ campaign is a good idea, because it is trying to get the message across that Domestic Violence is not acceptable, and that it won’t be tolerated. In principle, it is good… In practice, it needs more work.
You mentioned that the police didn’t do anything… Did you tell them that you wanted to press charges against him?
I know it sux, but police often don’t want to get involved in Domestic Violence cases, because too often, the woman just drops the charges.
I am not going to try to defend your husbands actions, but I am wondering if the reason he found it necessary to bash your door in was because he wanted to see his son and you were preventing him from doing so. I am also wondering if the reason he bashed you with your son in your arms is because you grabbed your son to try to stop your ex from getting near him.
Is your ex entitled to access to his son… and are you refusing that access???
Whilst I accept that the violence against you was unacceptable, I can perhaps appreciate why it was understandable.
I had a read through your previous questions, with a view to trying to understand your situation a bit better. This is a quote from one of those earlier questions….
“He is in America and I am in Australia, I really wish I could though, even if I had the money I couldn't because I have a 2 year old son and his dad won't let me take him out of the country”
What you said in the above statement suggests your husband has joint custody of your child, and I would assume, is also entitled to access.
I personally know how hard it can be on a father to have a child he loves very dearly, and to have the ex refusing the access he is entitled to. If the father is desperate enough, he will do whatever is necessary to share a relationship with his child… and heaven help anyone who tries to stop him!!!
I’m not saying that this is the situation in your case, but it perhaps explains why the police failed to take any action against your ex.
You have asked for ideas on what you can do.
Consider the following…
If you are not happy with the action taken by the Police, you can lodge a complaint with the Police Public Relations in your State.
There are several Domestic Violence Crisis Service Centres in Australia. Contact the one that is in your State, and discuss your concerns with them.
If you can prove that it is not in the best interest of your son for him to spend time with his father, you can contact the Family Law Court and ask them to consider granting you an Order of sole custody and access.
You may be entitled to free legal advice, depending on your finances. Consult the Legal Aid Office in your State for further information.
If your ex is entitled to spend time with his son, and is not a danger to your son…
Consider allowing him the access he is entitled to, so that further acts of violence against you will not be considered necessary!!!

Try to go to a batter womens center and speak with them. I don't know if that is available there, but find out... They can help you in this situation.... You can also go to court and file an assault and battery on your ex partner and make a complaint about the officers that were on call that night... Also, get a restraining order on your ex.... If it happens again, they will have to arrest him...

For one if your hubby kicked the door in and bashed you he would definelty be arrested for Mal Damage and assault. Just depends on what You told police. if you are not willing to make a statment police cant do a great deal .. If you are in fear for your safety..LEAVE NOW and dont tell him where you are. go to a Womens Refuge and seek advice. go back to police and demand an explination, they have to take action

Same problem in America.
You're gonna have to wait till he puts you in the hospital, like I did.
The staff at the hospital convinced the police to help me.

Leave him! He's never going to change. People like him don't deserve to be with anybody. You deserve much better than that. Take care, an good luck.
