Australia: Lobby groups muddy family law
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2007-02-02 22:57
No end to what will be done to and what people will believe about men and fathers. Disgusting! Read here. Excerpt:
'Last year in Australia, amendments were made to family law to support children's rights to contact with both parents after divorce, changes which included extra protection for children from violence. Yet these welcome changes are under attack from women's groups afraid the new laws will undermine the licence given to mothers to shut fathers out of children's lives.
The cries of alarm began long before the changes made it into law. Look at the National Council of Single Mothers and Their Children, which makes clear its position on the irrelevance of fathers with its insulting slogan – "Half the couple, twice the parent".'
