Dear AC,

The statistics are staggering. On average one
woman a week is murdered by her current or former
partner. The following link gives more information
concerning statistics:

http://www.whiteribbon.org.au/understand-domestic-violence/facts-violence-woem/domestic-violence-statistics/

It would help if you were to do more research into the
barriers faced by women in accessing the legal system
especially in the context of family law matters.

And -

The impact of current legal and family law funding arrangements
on women.

And -

How the current legal system might be changed to more
adequately provide access to justice for women in
family law.

It just might give you a bigger picture and a broader
understanding of what's involved.

Here's another link that is also worth a read and
gives you an insight from two children's viewpoints
and experiences:

Hey Foxy,

"The statistics are staggering. On average one

Well that just proves MY POINT.
I'm not arguing with you on this fact,
In fact I'm happy to highlight it because it also highlights that these women's approach is NOT WORKING but making things worse.

"It would help if you were to do more research into the
barriers faced by women in accessing the legal system
especially in the context of family law matters."

Your seeing it one sided.

- Just as importantly you should do some research into the situations men face when women back them into a corner, because usually that's the moment right before things turn physical, if and when they do.

Some blokes are arrogant unreasonable assholes who will use physical strength, fear and control measures; but other times men are backed into a corner because they don't know how to deal with women who manipulate and undermine them and want to cause conflict when they're own needs and expectations aren't being met.

You're listening to the 'scorned women who've lost quite possibly their looks and youth and are angry and resentful for the choices they made with blokes - point of view', and not an unbiased view that starts with a clean sheet on the basis of merit.

It takes 2 to tango.
When relationships become powerstuggles, people use whatever they have available to them.

"the more liberal women get;- The more gay men get..."
AC what are you saying, female rejection results in male homosexuality. Interesting, I have seen more than one female lusting after a gay man. sometimes not knowing the fact.

runner the words of a Christian to his wife as she left the family abode after enduring years of physical abuse; "Your problem is you won't obey me. The Bible says you must obey me and you refuse," he yelled. "You are a failure as a wife, as a Christian, as a mother. You are an insubordinate piece of s....."

runner, could this wife beater be a member of your congregation.

Hi Paul1405,
'the more liberal women get;- The more gay men get...'

"AC what are you saying, female rejection results in male homosexuality. Interesting, I have seen more than one female lusting after a gay man. sometimes not knowing the fact."

I didn't really mean to imply that one thing is 'directly' responsible for the other in the way you laid it out;
It was more of just a simple observation, and more in a sense of 'indirectly responsible';
- and I'll happily concede the two things most likely aren't related.

I just through it out there, when I probably shouldn't have.

Dear AC,

What is concerning is that support groups are under-resourced
especially the frontline services. Despite the fact that
there is a huge demand for their services. The recommendations
from previous inquiries are sitting on the shelves yet the
best the government decides it can do is to have another
inquiry.

Perhaps this is because the Family law system and the courts
are predominantly controlled by men?

The statistics and facts speak for themselves AC.

Did you happen to read the other link I gave from the
children's point of view and experiences?

I respectfully suggest it is irrelevant how many recommendations have been for more funding.
More funding is simply going to result in more litigation and more demands for funding.

There is already a 17000 case backlog in the FCoA that will take 10 years to clear

In addition there are 2-3 yr waiting lists for trial, 26 murder suicides a week, self-perpetuating generational child trauma and a $20BN welfare bill to taxpayers paying for single parent families, the mass criminalisation / incarceration / and pauperisation of men and all the social pathologies of mass fatherlessness consequent of a predatory family law / DV industry.

We don’t want more of the same we want less.

What is needed are law changes to disincentivise litigation.

The weak shared parenting reform of 2008 decreased family law litigation by 22%.

The family violence amendments of 2011 – Gillard’s feminist pork for the lawyers - redefined FV so widely that it is anything the accuser thinks it is. Everyone is guilty by accusation and thereby the presumption of innocence eviscerated.

In addition, the protections against false allegations - “women don’t lie” - were removed and the “friendly parent” provisions against child alienation repealed.

Not surprisingly we now have 2-3 year waiting lists and a 17000 case backlog - demands for more funding.
