A domestic abuse victim, Jeannie Blackburn, of Yarra Valley, has been tirelessly campaigning and urging the Melbourne Lord Mayor to strip her attacker, who is now in prison, of his Royal Humane Society bravery medal.

 Jeannie lost the sight in her left eye following a savage beating in 2007 by her then husband, Paul McCuskey.

McCuskey was sentenced to a minimum of three years behind bars in 2010 for domestic abuse.

As it should be. 

It's incredible to me how someone who can be so brave as to battle a wildfire, can also have been so cowardly and savagely beat his wife. Human beings are really puzzling sometimes.
