I asked Grok for the Details on the Australian cities where marches are being held on the 31 August. Here's the results.

Now I want to know if any of you are intending to support the idea of protecting Australian values. I will attend the Brisbane march, with some trepidation, as I am not sure if the battery on my wheelchair will last the distance. It should! But I made the effort to go an buy an Australian flag this morning. It's 5 x 3 and probably too large to drape over my mobile transporter, so might need a couple of willing participants to help. I also found in the shed some banners for Men's Rights Australia - again would need a couple to hold it up. Can't see anything wrong in highlighting some of our issues if we are talking about Australian values.
What do you think? Any takers?

Kind regards

Former judge denounces Labor for pushing feminist ideology into the Family Court

‘The Family Court system is in enormous trouble.’ That is a momentous statement given that the speaker, Adelaide barrister Stuart Lindsay, is a former Family Court judge. But there’s much more… This experienced insider blames the parlous state of this vital institution on a campaign led by the Labor Party to ‘promote a particular pronounced feminist ideology in the Family Law Act’.

Lindsay spent ten years, from 2004-14, working as a judge in the Federal Circuit Court dealing mainly with family court matters. He’s now back working as special counsel for a local firm on the coalface of a system he sees as being in dire straits.

He’s been right there, witnessing the destructive impact of feminist ideology infiltrating the family law system, destroying the lives of so many ordinary families. Lindsay explains the big push started with Prime Minister Julia Gillard, but Kevin Rudd was right on board, as successive Labor governments have ‘tried to ensure judges provide for right outcomes in accordance with the invariably feminist ideology’.

The play sheet at the heart of this ideology is domestic violence, namely the nonsensical feminist claim that all other considerations regarding the best interests of children must be swept aside by the need to protect youngsters from dangerous dads. This incentivises false allegations of violence since they give women immense power throughout the family law process.

During my conversation with him it was utterly fascinating to hear this former judicial officer describing what it was like being on the receiving end of feminist efforts to insert domestic violence into every part of the Family Law Act, requiring judges to endlessly ‘dip their lid to this particular notion’.

Judges must ‘bend the knee and give recognition to these political declarations’ says Lindsay, even though, when proper evidence is presented to the court, many domestic violence allegations are withdrawn or fall apart. But by then, the allegations have often been successfully used to have fathers removed from the home and denied contact with children; with the accuser given endless advantages, including financial benefits when it comes to negotiating her way through the system.

The consequences have been dire. ‘The Family Law Act has promoted great wickedness throughout Australian society for 50 years,’ declared Stuart Lindsay.

I had pages of questions I planned to ask the good judge but in the end most of our conversation focused on the influence of feminism on the Family Court system because it has been taboo to name this powerful enemy as responsible for much of the damage to the institution. Lindsay says emphatically that the Court is in the worst shape it has been in for many decades.

He’s keen to point out that the rot has set in ‘not just in the legislation, not just the way the court operates’. He also blames Commonwealth bureaucrats in the Attorney-General’s Department (now 70 per cent female) who are apparently responsible for writing the legislation and making decisions about the structure of the court system.

Key professional law groups have also been captured, with the Law Societies and Bar Associations across the country now ‘dutifully enlisted into these ideological excursions.’

As an example of how the feminist ideology is playing out in court, Lindsay discusses the latest changes to the Family Law Act – new legislation snuck through Parliament by Labor on the last sitting day last year, which gives more of the marital assets to alleged victims of domestic violence.

Lindsay says this new law sets judges ‘an impossible task’, requiring them to perform ‘acts of political theatre’ as they try to find evidence of the impact of domestic violence, often over long decades in a marriage. The result will be a ‘huge waste of resources’, with trials needlessly extended, and vastly more paperwork racking up the billable hours for expensive lawyers. And for the families concerned, the pain, the distress will be needlessly intensified by this ideological exercise. And for what? Lindsay predicts that it will not change how assets are divided.

Equally compelling are Lindsay’s strong views on other key failings of the court. In particular, there is the failure of the court to enforce parenting orders, and the lack of penalties for false allegations.

In discussing the damage caused to the authority of the court through the enforcement failure, Lindsay makes it clear that there are remedies – judges can take action in cases where parents flaunt orders. He tells the story of a case where he decided to send the mother to prison after the court had thrown out her child sexual abuse allegation, but she still refused to allow the father access to the children. He pronounced his sentence but when the time came to take the woman away, the court officials were all in a flutter. It had never been done before! They had to rapidly work out a procedure for taking the woman into custody.

Regarding penalties for false allegations, Lindsay described a similar case where a mother had sworn a false affidavit regarding abuse by the father, which she used to keep the children away from her ex-husband. The perjury case was referred to the Attorney General’s Department. ‘They weren’t interested,’ Lindsay reports. Attempts to prosecute the case privately ended up in the District Court but came unstuck when the prosecutors refused to proceed.

That’s what happens when all our institutions are captured. The rot has set in everywhere.

The interview with Stuart Lindsay is a first. It should be a big news story that this former judge has been so outspoken in acknowledging the failures of the Family Court system, the ideological capture of the institution, and most of all, the damage this feminist campaign is causing to our community.

Please help ensure that this important video reaches a large audience. YouTube is doing a great job preventing people finding it. Here’s the link.

My conversation with Stuart Lindsay ended with a discussion of what can be done about the derailing of this major institution. We are currently lobbying politicians on key issues prior to the forthcoming election and this is one of our priorities. It is essential that we convince the Opposition parties that there is massive support for winding back Labor’s disastrous changes to the Family Law Act last year.

Late last year, Shadow Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said the parenting changes ‘send a very disturbing message’ to Australian families. The Opposition has committed to repeal Anthony Albanese’s changes to family law if it wins the next election – including the removal of the clauses related to shared parenting.

We must hold them to this promise. Yet we are told the Liberal Party isn’t convinced there’s major support in the community for this move. This is very odd, considering that John Howard had a 4 per cent increase in popularity when he first promoted shared parenting.

After John Howard introduced the reforms supporting shared parental responsibility there followed a succession of Labor governments determined to wind this all back. Interestingly, when Kevin Rudd was considering doing this, he warned it could prove tricky. ‘We’ve got to get this right – there’s a million votes riding on it, and that’s not an exaggeration,’ he announced at a press conference on April 29, 2009.

Surely those million votes are still there, even though we dropped the ball and remained largely silent while Labor and the Greens pushed through last year’s disastrous changes. Given the ever-increasing toll on Australian families from the Family Court system there have to be many more than a million men and their families who know how important it is to protect children’s right to have fathers as part of their lives. Every time a father is denied contact, so many people are affected – grandparents, new partners, often his entire extended family and friendship group.

We’ve prepared a simple system for sending draft letters to local politicians. See details here. Local members from Opposition parties will receive a draft letter warning we expect them to follow through on their promise. The letter for Labor politicians and their Green/Teal cronies explains this was a key issue in deciding not to vote for them. These draft letters should be adapted for sending to local Senators and other politicians who don’t fit into these key categories.

Don’t forget the minor parties. When you are sending off letters to Senators, take a few minutes to redraft the letter to offer congratulations to the rare people who actually voted against Labor’s changes. These were One Nation Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts, and UAP’s Ralph Babet. They deserve support.

And watch out for new Libertarian candidates. The Libertarians (formerly the Liberal Democrats) have made a major effort to develop Family Law policies which include shared parenting proposals, proper evidence supporting domestic violence allegations, enforcement of parenting orders with penalties for breaches and ‘a national apology to all parents and children alienated from one another through the family law system in recognition of the injustice and hurt suffered by parents denied access to their children due to court orders made on mere allegations.’ Many of these are very sensible ideas and worth supporting. Their candidates are listed here.

We get the governments we deserve. Ditto the Family Law system. We really only have ourselves to blame for being asleep at the wheel and allowing feminists to take control of this vital institution impacting on so many Australian families.

It’s time for those million-plus voters to stand up and give a mighty roar of protest at this shameful state of affairs. Making sure candidates for the next election are aware of what’s going on is only the beginning. But it’s a good place to start.

Who's Accountable??

"This tragic event highlights the critical need to address domestic violence without defaulting to the assumption that men are always the aggressors. Too often, we see the focus of policy and resources directed towards a one-sided narrative, leaving the complexities of family dynamics unaddressed.

This case also demonstrates the vital role fathers can play in protecting their families, a role that is frequently undervalued or even ignored in the current system. The father’s actions likely saved lives, yet he operates within a framework that provides minimal recognition or support for fathers in such dire circumstances.

It’s time for a more balanced approach-one that genuinely considers the diversity of situations within families and provides equitable resources to all victims of domestic violence, regardless of gender. We must ensure that intervention programs and family support services are designed to identify and address these hidden crises before they escalate." - Sue Price.

Failure Family Law Reform Australia - John Stapleton

Failure: Family Law Reform Australia. Extract. From the Introduction.
Extract. From the Introduction.

Community radio program Dads On The Air was in a singular position to cover and even at times to contribute to the years of government reports, committee inquiries, public debate and media coverage on reforms promoting cooperative care of children after divorce. While our politicians could take us into unwise multibillion dollar wars on the toss of a coin, or more precisely an unwise allegiance to a dangerous ally America, witness Iraq, witness Afghanistan, witness Ukraine, fixing our own internal war against fathers and fatherhood, propelled by ideologies birthed in he universities half a century ago, has proved beyond our political class.

Conservative Prime Minister John Howard mounted an inquiry into shared custody in 2003 which gathered significant public support and positive media coverage but then failed to act. Australia’s politicians are frightened of the very monster they created, the literally hundreds of taxpayer funded women’s legal services, advocacy groups, refuges, and an armada of feminist academics and activist judges. All this multibillion dollar army, benefiting from the demonisation of men, is arrayed against the unfunded, voluntary fathers and pro-family community groups which have not a hope of getting their voices heard. Howard ran his government in a 1980s managerial style. Endless inquiries, commissions and reports gave an illusion of action. Nothing ever changed. He was finally embarrassed into taking action after a pesky journalist wrote a story noting that he had initiated dozens of inquiries, and instituted not a single recommendation from any of them.

Finally, two years after the initial report the family law reform legislation was tabled in Parliament, on December 8, 2005, again at a time of year when the public, and many of the major players in Australian media, are knocking off for Christmas holidays and not paying the slightest attention to politics. Another sleight of hand.

It was very dirty politics aimed to deceive.

Howard, a lawyer by training, had already appointed a replacement for the long serving Chief Justice Alastair Nicholson who he knew perfectly well would do nothing to change the nature of the court. Her name was Diana Bryant, who would serve as Chief Justice for 2004 to 2017, and who would leave the court in just as parlous a state as her predecessors.

Then Attorney-General Philip Ruddock was left holding the can. His press release stated that the Family Law Amendment (Shared Parental Responsibility) Bill 2005 reflected the “Government’s determination to ensure the right of children to grow up with the love and support of both their parents”. It was little better than a lie.

Insisting on calling the extremely modest amendments to the Act “the most significant reforms to the family law system in 30 years”, Ruddock toured the country promoting his view of the progressive nature of the law changes. As always when he came on Dads On The Air he endured a solid grilling with good spirit.

These changes, essentially inclusions in the Objects of the Act to encourage judges to look at the notion of “shared responsibility”, were finally made into law by the Australian government headed by then Prime Minister John Howard in 2006 as a bipartisan initiative.

Too little too late and too easily overturned, Dads On The Air declared. And all directed at a court notoriously resistant to change. Sadly, we were proved correct. The many thousands of volunteer hours that members of fathers and family law had put into pushing for reform were ignored. And a significant social movement swept under the carpet, buried as if it had never been.

Almost immediately following the election of a left leaning Labor government headed by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2007 the process of winding back even these modest reforms began in an entirely partisan way. In Australia family law amendments had never previously been introduced without bipartisan support.

The debate continues to this day.
