A Parliamentary Inquiry into the troubled family
law court is set to be co-chaired by Liberal MP
Kevin Andrews and One Nation Leader, Pauline
Hanson.

It's a controversial decision made by our PM.
Resources for domestic violence services are
already tight and a new inquiry adds more paperwork
to an already cash-strapped sector.

Many experts are saying that what is needed is
action not more inquiries.

This is the latest in a string of inquiries into
the family law system and its failings. There have
been two very recently with various recommendations
that have not been responded to.

Do we need another inquiry?

And will victims come forward considering Mr Andrew's
conservative views and Pauline Hanson's recent
unsupported claims that women are frequently making
up allegations of domestic violence in family courts?

Dear Foxy,

One commentator said it will be a clash between Pauline Hanson and Rosie Batty.

This inquiry is a subterfuge for total inaction, which displays the underlying patriarchal nature of LNP politics. And giving Pauline Hanson a job for which she is unqualified to fill in order to placate her with a view to getting her support in the Senate.

When I was doing my MA in sociology Pauline Hanson was the MP for Oxley. It gave rise among sociologists at the time of her being The Oxleymoron. I think it's still appropriate.

Dear Mr Opinion,

I've read all the criticisms of this inquiry.
And some very valid concerns have been raised.
However, the fact remains this inquiry is
going to go ahead and to not participate
should not be an option because of people
don't participate and at least attempt to be
heard we can end up with some really poor
recommendations that will affect service provisions
and people's lives and children's lives and safety
for the next years to come.

Things are apparently quite bad currently - they
could get even worse if people choose not to participate.
Doing nothing should not be an option.

I have zero confidence with its current leaders the thing will work
Hanson used her personal view to taint her understanding before it even got started
However yes some women do lie
And yes the court is biased against men
Good idea badly implemented

I'm just watching ABC news and Kevin Andrews is refusing to comment of Pauline Hanson's reference to women suffering domestic violence as being liars about their situation.

Well, there you have it, the inquiry is dead before it has even started.

Dear Belly and Mr Opinion,

Katherine Murphy in The Guardian tells us that
the PM's family court inquiry is a "boneheaded gift to
Pauline Hanson and men's rights activists".

Murphy is not the only one questioning the PM's move.
Hanson has been after this issue for some time. The PM
has given her a gift according to Murphy. Murphy
questions and finds it hard to fathom what of any
substance can emerge from this inquiry given the
Australian Law Reform Commission has already presented
a bunch of detailed recommendations to over haul
the family court system in August.

Those insights and recommendations according to Murphy from
a body well credentialed to consider all the complexities
of the issue, are sitting politely on a shelf, waiting for
someone to notice them.

I am interested in hearing from conservatives
on this issue.
