Just as the disgusting treatment of the powerless kids at the hands of the sick perverts and their groups/societies/associations was, it seems almost common knowledge to the community as a whole, it would appear any well meaning individual or organization's attempts to shed light on this insidious activity were rendered silent,or worse by those wielding power and/or self serving interests to protect.

Have we learned nothing as a collective society from this and the equally disgraceful " stolen generation " that stamped all of humanity as utter failures at decency,logic, and ethical high standards, to name but a few.

I seriously ask how we, as an apparently intelligent race of supposedly compassionate people can sit idly by whilst the next tragedy is mindlessly inflicted once again on the most vulnerable of our race.

When such huge numbers of general populations quickly align in numbers that state they believe the Family Law system is broken/prejudicial/corrupt and nothing more than a money generating ruse to benefit the huge list of grubs who's self serving interests are met by prolonging,encouraging,exaggerating and even flat out inventing conflict between their client and the clients now ex partner.

Look hard and deep enough and one will find results from polls/surveys of these very antagonists who will even disclose themselves that the system is failing our kids. Still nothing remotely close to addressing the problem is the outcome.

Even the recently retired Head of the combined registries of both Family court and Federal Circuit Court seemingly couldn't contain his golden handshake produced disbelief when on leaving his post admitted as much.

In a seemingly " catch me if you think you can " moment worthy of a skit in an old Benny Hill episode, he then had the audacity to lay blame on outdated computer systems.
These same "outdated systems" that he oversaw for the previous 8 or so tears , I believe.
Off he shot on the Family Law system's fastest milk-cart in the west !
To cont.

How can we remain unmoved when the very head of the beast,judges,lawyers,barristers,solicitors and huge numbers of hangers on such as utterly corrupt and worthless family consultant's/report writer's etc. but most notably the majority numbers of the democratically governed populace say it is a biased and broken system and still we allow our kids,our future be robbed of a loving,caring,competent and available parent(mainly dad's).

A conservative estimate of 3 suicides p/w in Australia are directly linked to the vile treatment handed out by this most uncaring, divisive fraud.
Sure domestic violence is a scourge on society also but just as speed and alcohol was eventually linked to road fatalities, dare to delve into the sad figures available and I would dare to bet near anything, that you will find huge,huge numbers of offending directly related to again this broken system.

Whilst demands are made of ordinary working class men to accede to the outdated pomp and regal ceremony that still exists within these hallowed ( often empty despite claims of being overwhelmed ), whereby the issue of whether he stood when a judge entered or his sunglasses are atop his head or heaven forbid he should dare be chewing a pellet of gum takes a massive back seat to administering justice there will remain a chicken or the egg conundrum regarding violence,conflict and anger.Tragically 1 man hanging himself as he is robbed of the greatest achievement of his past present or future existence,his god given right to become and grow into being a father is 1 too many.

Equally so 1 man with no hope after being corruptly robbed by ruthless self serving legal reps. of his spiteful,hurt,vindictive or mentally unwell ex partner confronting his legally protected ex. is too many. How many incidents would be accounted for that involve a father/ex deciding to enact his parental responsibility to his kids after inviting a legal system to adjudicate naively and then screwing him over whilst unjustly allowing rules be not adhered to only by a judges learned friend and not a self repping dad.

How many more that decide " she and I both know the true facts and not the lies spun in court,I lived with her for "x" amount of years,I know her if I can just sit and talk sense with her we can work it out for the kids"? Upon arrival is a newly yet falsely empowered ex pumped up with the false entitlements fed her by the money hungry lawyers who's interests were met by doing so only to leave her alone as a mere number and old case file after gaining her a spite driven ruling from his overly friendly judge .
How many of those occasions turn sour and become statistics.
Again even 1 of, is too many.
Whilst smoke and mirrors and a "chummy" environment in which to conduct such and all the while devaluing a fathers love and wish to parent a child may gain a "case closed" on the paperwork and a legal 'professional' 1 rung higher on his/her career path but human nature being as it is,the crime of stupidity is committed when that final gavel comes down expecting a decent hard working man to simply abide by a corrupt and blatantly wrong decision.
Until we as a society say " Enough " of the legal pomp and self serving interests of the self acclaimed elite among us, " Enough" hiding behind the child's so called best interests when 'Blind Freddy' can see through that lie and " Enough " of ranking in importance a parents role until separation ,should as usually occurs, the man works to bring home $'s to provide for his brood so naturally a stay at home mum by default gets to create a closer bond with a newly arrived child.
The people that utter such defamatory remarks within a courtroom have surely no idea how degrading a man is to feel that he is suddenly surplus to a child's future that he was proudly a pivotal part of last week.

So as we fail to do anything to fix this putrid system & we tumble towards generations of fatherless kids and pseudo protected mother's with their immorally gained legal standing, I beg all of us to do something,anything to remedy this situation as once again we all know it's wrong,we all know it's happening,we all know the stories we hear are true but unlike our fellow man of days gone by please for the love of innocent kids let's not simply ignore this equally horrendous treatment of our most vulnerable.
By all means then have a Royal Commission into banking.....just get our priorities straight !

I have witnessed a family member, a father, being torn apart by this very same system.

He was a kind, gentle model father to his two kids and now, after having his kids taken away from him through nothing more than lies from a vindictive bitch, he is a cold hearted man with no home (other than a room in his mums house)has very little money and given he is in his mid 40's, F-all chance of becoming the man he once was.

The system is there to protect people, yet this bitch, through her lies has managed to have a restraining order placed on him and would even go out of her way to breach the boundaries herself, then blame him. Of cause the system allowed this to happen.

I have to wonder just how many of these people in charge are man hating leso's with a personal axe to grind, stopping at nothing to see men demoralised to the point of worthlessness.

As for the lawyers, their priorities are their money first, then see what we Can't do for the poor buggers who go through this on a daily basis.

While I accept many men are far from perfect partners, one has to wonder about how many bad men have an evil vindictive woman behind them.

And of cause, the welfare of the kids come last.

Cheers for response brother. Sad part is we all know one of these blokes who is no more than a shell of his former self if indeed we are not that very bloke.
I am pretty much same boat as your mate- my only crime I could no longer live with the diagnosed medically unwell mother of our child whom I never as much as raised an eyebrow or my voice to & yet she is punished as much as I by being isolated from each other.
This countries government and legals are aiding in the abuse of our kids whilst they sit and do nothing to fix the god damn elephant in the room ! Peace to your mate,keep an eye on him from time to time as enough good proud aussie blokes have kicked off that chair hey.
