1. I am glad to see a MAN member of parliament bring this up. Usually, it seems too often a woman is the one to point out misandry. There is nothing wrong with women pointing out discrimination and bigotry directed against men, more power to them, but MEN have to start coming forward more and do something about their situation.
2. It is about time that somebody down there finally pointed out the elephant in the bathroom! Even on the Titanic there came a point where it had to be admitted that the ship was sinking! Sometimes reality bites!
3. It will be interesting to see just how far this goes though. The proverbial snowball's chance in hell analogy and all that.
But any positive news like this is good news.

Snowballs chance significantly understates the futility of his suggested action. Appealing to Pru Goward of all people is like appealing to wile-e coyote about the plight of the road runner for gods sake!

Mr Schultz said he had approached Ms Goward to discuss having the Child Support Agency removed or restructured.
"I did that on the basis of forewarning her that I am going to lodge an official complaint, as a member of Parliament, about the anti-male bias in the way the Child Support Agency operates and its obviously institutionalised sexism against males," he said.
This is all a precursor to filing an official complaint. It is a first step. I'm hoping it will spur a reformist movement in the Parliament—maybe with an eye toward having her removed.

You are one couragious, righteous man, Mr. Shultz. I wish I had the honor of living in your district so I could vote for you.
"I did that on the basis of forewarning her that I am going to lodge an official complaint, as a member of Parliament, about the anti-male bias in the way the Child Support Agency operates and its obviously institutionalised sexism against males," he said.
Odd, isn't it, that this tragedy isn't front page news on the feminist media. Ooops, there isn't room, they have to run another story about the burden women feel from having to choose between working and staying at home.
