And James that sums up how the C$A operate.

Merry Christmas to all the parasites that assume the system works.

Styx, Melaine Phillips wrote about how the "best interests of a child" is used to shift wealth from those who earn it.

stx you are absolutely right about the parasites who manipulate the system, especially the 620,000 fathers who do not pay child support to maintain their children and leave the taxpayers to carry the burden while they swan around on their trailbikes, JetSkis, Surfboards, Powerboats, Lancers etc etc. I see them every day in Noosa and other parts of Qnsld. It is long overdue that such parasites were brought to account and the taxpayers relieved of carrying their financial responsibilities for them.

"I see them every day in Noosa and other parts of Qnsld." - it must be real handy having those men wearing wetsuit's with "Deadbeat dad" written across the back. If it wasn't for that I suspect that it would be a bit hard to spot which jet ski riders paid child support and which didn't.

I wonder why they don't make separated/divorced mum's wear something similar, I generally have to know someone for a while to get a real idea how much they actually contribute towards their children.

Where I came from we did... t’shirt, black skinny jeans and sheepskin slippers. Suburb was called “nappy valley” to all locals, state housing everywhere. The freakish kids in the hood had two parents that lived at home and got funny looks all the time from the other children who would often ask why their dad was there and gave them funny looks like there must be trouble at their house… err… which there often was.

All the dads were on the dole so no fault no foul was the rule. Never met a dad with a jetski but I aint from that kind of neighborhood I guess.

Happy New Year R0bert and peeps!

Happy New year, you grumpy lot.

Now for example, when a couple is intact and from my understanding, that there are ways and means of reducing the level of income taxation, used by the wealthy (which I aren't) such things are totally acceptable.

Now the couple separates and the ex wants child support, but they cant find out where the money is, this then becomes unacceptable.

I think most people who get to be wealthy are not silly about how they deal with their money or who they give their money too.

Sure there are people who avoid paying taxation and child support etc. But the vast majority of us don't have that advantage.

The most contentious issue is the level of socalled 'support', and most separated mums find it is not the road to wealth and happiness as they thought. ')
