Australia: "Call to end shared custody: Chisholm report"

Article here. Excerpt:

'A REPORT commissioned by the Rudd government recommends major changes to the controversial shared parenting law introduced by former prime minister John Howard, saying it has put women and children at risk.

The report by retired Family Court judge Richard Chisholm says the law has also set fathers up to believe they are entitled to a 50-50 time split with their children after divorce, when this was never the parliament's intention, nor part of the law. The report into family law was ordered by Attorney-General Robert McClelland, in response to the shocking death of four-year-old Melbourne girl Darcey Freeman, who was thrown to her death from the West Gate Bridge one year ago.

Her father, Arthur Freeman, is now facing a murder charge.

In launching the report yesterday, Mr McClelland said it was "motivated at least in part by the very tragic events, in the case of Darcey Freeman".'

This should be an object lesson to all M/FRAs, every victory is just winning the first round on points. We must defend each hard-earned inch of ground forever.

"motivated at least in part..."

What, the stupid ass doesn't know his complete motivation? This statement is obviously an indication that the girl was the FULL motivation - in other words, the emotional over-reaction to a specific case.

Of course, 'part' of his motivation may have come from pressure from women's groups (note I didn't narrow it down to 'feminist groups') (I didn't read the full article.)

it is sure strange how turds always come to the top in
the toilet bowl that is today's so called law "profession".

a.g. mcclelland bases his findings on a "report" done by one
of his retarded buddies, some other gynocentric judge. heck,
anybody can write a report about pretty much anything.
hard to argue w/ such a waste of two educations. using the
old worn out excuses about women afraid to make accusations w/o proof.
shucks, that sounds like a very GOOD thing to me, what w/ all the
lies being spouted.

more than 80% of Aussies surveyed believe in shared custody.
among those actively involved in it, >70% said it was working well.
any excuse will do it seems. women kill children a LOT more often than men do.

these mangina/fem's can't let this go on for long. people will see how
much more sense it makes than the nightmare of auto/total woman custody.
family life starts improving and the fem's will be done in.
it will let everybody see proof of their stupidity.

    Mr McClelland said it was clear from the Chisholm report, and from two other reviews of the shared parenting law, also released yesterday, that women had become reluctant to raise allegations of violence, in part because the court can now punish them by hitting them with the entire bill for proceedings if the allegations are not proved.

Ever notice how the anti-equality people always toggle between the best interest of women--as in the above paragraph--and the best interest of children without missing a beat?

I just saw on Sky News that a woman over there has killed her two kiddies - presumably this means UK women will now have their custody rights curtailed...
