'The Fair Work Commission has said an employee is entitled to hold personal views and beliefs at odds with his employer after a domestic violence case manager allegedly breached company policy for sharing articles by a critic of feminism from The Australian.

Relationships Australia in Western Australia (RAWA) confronted its men's counsellor, Robert Tiller, because he appeared to believe domestic violence was not caused by the "gender power imbalance" and had linked to articles by columnist Bettina Arndt.

But Commissioner Bruce Williams said the counsellor's views had not affected his work and the agency was on "precarious" ground if it had dismissed him.

"Whilst Mr Tiller is obliged to carry out his duties in accordance with the Family and Domestic Violence Policy and Procedures his Employment Agreement does not, on its terms, have the effect of denying him the freedom to hold personal views and beliefs that are at odds with RAWA's policies," he said.'

So much for impartiality in the counselling service most frequently used by the Family Court of Australia, if even questioning of radical feminist ideology is considered a sackable offence.
You can imagine how entrenched the culture of misandry and gender hatred is in counselling and Family Court culture when this kind of behaviour escapes the cone of silence.
What hope of fair and impartial hearings in law in Australia for fathers. Like nil.
