At first just a rowdy onlooker during Bea’s sentencing, Kaz Proctor is a perfect example of a dangerous effect just waiting for a cause.
Damaged by growing up in a dysfunctional household with a violent and sexually abusive father, further scarred by experiences with angry boyfriends, she’s come to believe that all her problems are caused by the violence men inflict on women.
By the time Kaz learned about Bea, she’d been single for a long time. Kaz thinks that it’s time women defended themselves against violent men by using violence back against them.

In Bea, Kaz came to believe she’d found the perfect figurehead: a female victim of male violence who fought back. Bea didn’t want that responsibility and when Kaz was implicated in the murder of Harry Smith and sent to Wentworth, the conflict between Bea and Kaz intensified.
Bea relinquished the top dog mantle to Kaz and told her to look after the women. The pressure is on Kaz to maintain the status quo in Season 5, an impossible task with Ferguson plotting revenge.
