masculinism writes "G'Day from Sydney Australia. How many times have we all had to endure the verbal assaults of 'dead beat fathers'? I went and looked at the facts and lifted this comment under Section 2.2 Of the Australian Child Support Agancy website. Here is the link
"only 6 per cent of children did not have reasonable maintenance action requirements met on their behalf and, in many cases, this can be a temporary situation." Now correct me if I am wrong wouldn't this indicate that the vast and OVERWHELMING!!!! majority of fathers pay their child support IN FULL. Why then are there never ending media stories on 'dead beat fathers' these fathers represent a very small fraction of fathers, almost to the point of insignificance.
