Something is desperately wrong with the Family Court system. Desperately wrong.
I now describe and convey the important parts. It begins out with the daughter saying quite calmly “I’m not going…” several times. The son (14) tries to protect his younger sister (12), and the mother is trying to calm them, and tell them that it’s going to be okay.
For the next few minutes, the mother, step-dad and the kids chat. The one child discusses having to open up about their feelings to the court, and the adults are trying to normalize this transfer to their dad and make it okay.
At about 6.30 minutes into the recording, two Court officials walk into the room — a woman and a man. The man (Sheriff, I presume) says “Mum you know what this is about…” and tells the parents to leave, and that the kids will wait with them to be transferred to their dad.
The daughter starts a distressed, crying plea not to go, “I don’t want to go back to dad…” over and over again. The mother is trying to calm her daughter, trying to say it’s going to be okay. The girl starts screaming defiantly, “I’M NOT GOING BACK…”
Mother, “It’s going to be okay… it’s okay honey… I’m only a phone call away.” Nothing helps. In this screaming, the court officials can’t get a word in. As her mother prepares to leave, the screaming and shouting becomes more desperate. The older sibling chimes in angrily, distressed about his sister.
Son, “What happened?”
Daughter, “I’m killing myself there (screaming)”
Son, “What happened [in court], I want to know?”
Woman official, “This is what the judge said…”
Son, “The judge can go [description] … f*** this stupid court shit, hey”
The mother is desperately trying to calm her kids. She tries to negotiate with then, but the daughter refuses to back. She starts screaming, “Why would they send us back.”
Daughter, “I’M NOT GOING BACK. I’M RUNNING AWAY. WE’RE NOT GOING BACK. I’M NOT GIVING UP. I’M NOT GOING BACK. WHY WOULD THEY SEND ME BACK.”
Son, “I’m not going back, I’m not moving. I’m not anywhere.”
The mother again tries to calm them, that’s it’s going to be okay. But the screaming, crying, defiance continues for a solid 10 minutes or more. There’s no let up, as the officials try to enforce the separation — unsuccessfully. The daughter just refuses to go. The mother talks to the officials.
Woman official replies, “We have no choice.”
17 minutes into the recording it’s a stalemate. The kids are not moving. The daughter has probably said “I’m not going back” about 300 times. The court officials try negotiate the transfer, and explain what’s going on.
At 20 minutes, the daughter becomes desperate and starts talking about finding the police. The woman official then tries to explain, “We don’t have a choice… I know it’s very frustrating, and tries to say that they can call her mother…” Mother and the woman official are desperately trying to calm the kids.
Daughter, “I’m going to the police… I’m not going back. And if I have to I’ll run away.”
The girl defiantly says that her dad is her step-dad, and describes the neglect she suffers at her biological father’s, “He bashes us, he doesn’t feed us properly and smokes his weed… Why would the judge do that?” (They have mentioned other abuses.)
The kids become defiant — and they want to confront their father in a safe place, in front of officials. It is excruciating.
The mother and step-dad leave for another room, and you can hear the daughter screaming at her biological father in the distance. Soon the girl is back in the room, and she wants to remain with her step-dad, and is asking about the police. No amount of persuasion gets the daughter to cooperate with the court order.
The girl refuses to go, and asks to be taken to the police station.
Mother (to Sheriff), “What happens if she doesn’t go with him?”
Sheriff, “…I know it sounds awful…
Mother, “I’ll stick around… (for the transfer)
Sheriff, “It’ll only make it harder…
Mother, “But what happens if something happens going to the car?
Sheriff, “You ring child safety if you see it… otherwise the police will come, and they will enforce the order. So… I’ve dealt with this hundreds of times. Do you want that… do you want your children to witness the police coming here?“
Mother, “No, no I don’t… that’s why I’m worried about her, because the judge said he’s trying to minimize psychological damage… but this is doing exactly that.“
The daughter comes running back into the room, and refuses to go back for the transfer. The mother explains that she (the mum) can get into trouble it the orders are not followed, and explains to her daughter, “I’m no good to you if I get in trouble.”
The officials forcibly try remove her. The screaming, pleading continues begins, then she says over and over again,
Daughter, “I’m calling the police, I’m calling the police...”
Crying. They are taken away. End of recording.
The daughter ended up calling the police as security were pushing her down the court stairs towards her father’s car. The son gave up his fight after being distressed and went into survival mode, and disclosed abuse. The officials did not act. The girl was taken to acute care, and Child Safety visited her. She is now with her Aunty.
I am not religious, but God help the kids of Australia — because it appears no one else will. The same thing happened with the case in Adelaide, where the seven year old did a runner, and two police officers had to physically shove her kicking and screaming into the car. That’s abuse!
There is something terribly wrong with the Family Court culture and processes, and it seems Family and Children’s Court judges need to be re-trained. What I heard should absolutely not be happening in a civilized democracy. After my year researching the Family and Children’s Courts, and the various Child Protection Departments is seems then that we are not civilized. Far from it! The courts dealing with children seem unable to grasp what they are doing. And they are not following the law.
For one court official or Sheriff this has happened hundreds of times. How many Court officials are there across the country? This means it is happening by the THOUSANDS of cases — or rather by the tens of thousands. It seems apparent that the children’s courts are unable to adjudicate on behalf of children.
The system is truly broken.
These kids have guts and spirit. They are showing up every public official that turns their back on protecting children across Australia. This just has to stop and be addressed. Could the MSM stop fussing over 2 to 3 decade old abuses and deal with the thousands of cases unfolding in courts “now.”
Dee: “It seems apparent that the children’s courts are unable to adjudicate on behalf of children.”
No way are they unable. They are unwilling. They use the precedent case of “M and M” in the High Court. No judge really has to follow precedent – he can always “distinguish” the new case from M and M.
These judges need to be arrested. I AM NOT KIDDING.
“unwilling” – agree. However, I have witnessed a willingness to harm.
“and it seems Family and Children’s Court judges need to be re-trained.” – I was thinking ‘stretched’, at the end of a rope.
How about re-trained on the rack, Terry. St–rrr–etch–ed.
Who knows, one or two may get the message….
The “retraining” cant would have to be the ultimate euphemism
I always respond by saying “Well thanks for affirming that those employed in court services are naught but a bunch of undisciplined, disorderly toadies”
How about somebody just say it. The judges making these orders to place kids back with the pedophile, abusive fathers (or mothers) have to be bent. As in satanic. Nothing else makes any sense whatsoever.. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence. Ten thousand times is overwhelming evidence of a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.
Every family law court judge making these horrendous orders needs to be named. Every judge giving lenient sentences to pedophiles or trying to uphold an appeal for a convicted pedophile needs to be named.
“There will come a time when these people will not be able to walk down the street”
When you enter or leave the Court, you have to BOW to the POS sitting at the Bench. You have stand when they enter the Courtroom and when they leave. Then to add more salt to your wounds, every time you address these dishonorable POS you are required to call them “Your Honor”.
I’ve never bowed and I’ve never said “your honour”
But I’ve always been happy to stand up in the knowledge that You-Know-Who is under my feet
I once told a judge that I could not call her “your honour” as I did not believe she had any honour and in fact was the most dishonourable person I had ever had the misfortune to meet.
As far as I’m concerned the term is just as offensive as calling a judge “My Lord”; both bespeak volumes. No one would address their local garbo like so and lets face it, those guys are probably fulfilling a more vital function.
Assuming any sort of airs and graces is an open invitation to demon-possession and anyone who engages on such a level is party to the crime
It is satanic.They usedto burn children in a furnace as a sacrifice to moloch/baal/satan.Now they are doing it by destroying lives and paedophilia.Those running the world and courts do believe in the spiritual.They hate Yahweh/Jesus and love satan.They regard satan as god.They will never touch one of mine because if they try it goes to the next level.
From what I can gather a good proportion of Family Court actions are rooted in the most insidious form of abuse, namely child-worship.
The whole Family Law Act 1975 must abolished that allowed formation of the family court.
This act was controversial from the very beginning.
No other Act was changed over 120 times in Oz history.
The FLA 1975 and judges’ made rules are getting further away from the common law (and common sense).
As the so-called “Family Court” was established purely and simply as a means of dumbing down a range of politically actuated issues it should hardly be expected to emanate sweetness and light.Bar the myopia of those who wind up there it would no doubt die a natural death, but as short-sighted relationships have become the new norm it can only be realistically expected to mutate into something worse.
This court cannot be fixed and abolished is exactly what needs to happen immediately!
I agree. The whole mentality of how children are viewed as “pawns” in a “game” of the court is upside down. There seems to be absolutely no regard for what children need. Many Social workers are blind to anything with regard of “best interests”.
The more I learn, the more I realise these people seem to be living in a reality that is not consistent with humanity. To deliberately twist a child’s wishes and work against them is astonishingly. But they do this enthusiastically. It is like the entire family court system has been “brainwashed” or hypnotized into a family break-up scheme.
It cannot be fixed, and judges need to undergo “therapeutic intervention” to make them understand what humanity needs.
Putting a jury of peers between the judge and defendant would give some fairness and a little transparency as people are gossips like it or not.
To the oath taking peacemakers, you make your choices by breaking that oath to us. Like the Nazi’s yes men, you will be remembered by our organic recognition systems. Get used to having to cross the road in public.
Careful, Simon —
.
Don’t tell AG Porter, such a expeditious court in action, could give him idea’s.
The Family Court must act in the interests of the children… somewhere expressed in the FLA.
Now how can any FC judge dealing with this matter not be presented with the recording and receive it into evidence in a determination of parenting.
What is the problem with that? (Subject to any problems with actually recording the ‘kidnapping’ event which nevertheless can be dealt with as actual evidence by the court)
The tape should be kept with copies ……..if the child/ children act with vengeance against the abuser and is/are subject to criminal charges the criminal court would need this part of the history in consideration of a defence/explanation of any charges laid.
Consider what a criminal court jury would think of the Family Court at that time!!!!!!!
Think; “GUILTY”!
Yes we had an example this week where one voice brought down a cardinal-.
Q Where did he get his God like power?. A. The Vatican
Q Where do those we have to Honor Stand For get their god given authority? A. The Crown
This week one brave determined voice spoke for thousands and won a significant global battle. A voice from Australia.
Now we in Australia can bring down a corrupt evil system.
A David and Goliath battle.
Scuze me, Diane, which one is Goliath?
Just a simple metaphor Mary for some justice on the earthly plain.
There are many Battles and many Goliaths we need many David’s
The sleighing of the Dragon /Octopus/ will need intergalactic help
It’s all over here, our traitorous leaders have handed us over to the CCP , taken the money and run. But not before destroying everything that was good and wholesome in all the people of this land.
All we had to look at was the treatment of the great original people to see how our elite really operates in this diversified dystopia. The reality in our society is far different to the illusion imposed. Families are intentionally looked down upon from the top. Freemasonry is order out of chaos a secret cult that has taken over by deception greed malice with just ice.
We have, in some instances, the lone voice of the child disclosing abuses that would — in normal circumstances — be spread across 6 pages of a mainstream paper. But the court (the judge), the Crown’s team, the Child Lawyers team (who haven’t even met the child) brush it aside like crumbs off the breakfast table. In fact there is a deliberate attempt to not disrupt proceedings that are acting in the “worst interests” of the child. As in the above case, it is crystal clear that CHILDREN ARE NOT LISTENED TO. And they all pretend to be following the law “children’s best interests are paramount”.
It beats me why anybody expected a different outcome from the Family Court.
For starters, it was framed by politicians, all of whom are corrupt and many of whom were and are crooked. Why would we respect laws made by corrupt politicians?
And then there are the lawyers who drafed the code. They are all either crooked or amoral or both. There is no integrity in the legal profession. Probono is another word for PR.
Third… the Family Law Act was promoted by the Rockefellers (TC) and Tavistock Institute (representing Fabian Socialism); powerful lobbies, both of which seek to destroy the family unit and family as a social influence. The latter runs the ALP.
I was a welfare officer when the Family Law legislation proposal was floated, and then enacted. From the outset, it replaced parents with feminists, social workers, psychologists, lawyers, the lesbian lobby, and judges. It was a disaster and destroyed tens of thousands of families. Many dads committed suicide. Thousands of perfectly sound marriages were abandoned by women, seduced by the notion of combining child-raising with indiscriminate sex and a guaranteed income… or two, or three. Out of a then average current caseload of one hundred supporting mothers, around three were genuine refugees from abuse or neglect. Believe me, we were required by law to research home and relationship environments thoroughly.
Eventually, it seems, paedophiliacs realised the Family Law Court was nothing but a drafting mechanism; and with a little persuasion and blackmail, the many bent and twisted judges could be guided to feed children to these predators. Having spent a lot of time preparing court reports, in my opinion, the majority of magistrates and judges are bent.
if we are to replace the Family Court, a move which I heartly support, the replacement must deny lawyers any access to separation, divorce, custody, or financial support mechanisms and issues. Secondly, any policy or appeal issues must be under the control of the Australian Community.
Experts accrue power and power always corrupts.
And it is a huge money-making racket
The people employed by the family court system need to take heed of what is happening with ALL of the institutions which allowed children to be abused in decades past. Those who systematically harm children have an ugly future ahead. A very ugly future, both in this life and the afterlife.
Heap big thanks to the boy and girl in today’s article. The Rachels of today.
Slightly off topic, but relative to the corruption entrenched this century.
“The vast migrant guestworker slums now engulf all of Sydney & Melbourne.
Sydney western suburbs alone – non assimilated, lining up to working illegally in the vast foreign criminal run black economy.
Go there. See for yourself. Go inside their dwellings. See how they live.
6 bunks in one room, 4 bunks in the other, mattresses inside sliding door wardrobes, 3 gas camping stove cookers, plywood or tube&steel partitions, filthy squalor & 12sq. metres or less space per migrant.
That’s your affordable living in Sydney.
Foreign criminal run slum share & cage housing for migrant guestworkers cash in hand occupants.
The entire street, suburb? Third world, filth, squalor, congestion, Indian, Chinese, South East Asian, Middle Eastern jihad and African violent gang enclaves.
Mumbai meets Guangzhou meets Cairo meets Mogadishu.
Australia is a case study in a totally failed border and visa system – overwhelmed by third world criminal syndicates in a conveyor belt of trafficking third world unskilled migrants from their foreign slums into the now equivalent foreign enclave slums ‘tiny housing’ here.” – ekimmb
I am reluctant to comment on this specific case as I was not involved and in my 33 years of practice in that jurisdiction I have found that there are nearly always aspects that are not disclosed that may have a significant impact on the process. No disrespect to Dee, but this is such a case.
I am not for one moment suggesting that the Family Court is free of problems, but any call for its abolition inevitably raises the question: what will take its place? Like any judicial system, there are flaws, within the system and in the Judges who preside over it. That is one reason we have an appeal process.
There are certainly ways in which the system could be improved. That is true of any system, legal or otherwise. But one has to be very careful succumbing to demands for abolition unless there is a clearly defined and workable system to put in its place. For all its merits, the present article does not offer such a system or road to reform.
Oner must always be very careful to distinguish between the flaws that may appear in an individual case, and the system itself. Look no further than our electoral system!
Thanks James. I fully understand that in the many hundreds of cases each day, most fall along a grey scale that has to be deciphered (via the adults and the judge).
Yes in this case, my only connection to it — and knowledge to it is listening to the children for 30 minutes. For me it clearly indicates that the judge got it wrong — that is if the law requires ‘best interests’ for the children paramount. So what went wrong? Is it the law itself? The processes in this instance failed the children. In the above instance, the mother is trying to get them to cooperate with the orders. So after listening to kids’ views I have no other explanation. The judge failed the kids.
But in many of the cases in the gumshoe survey — it was about decisions that put children back in harms way. The Pridgeon case is where over 40 notifications by a dozen or more professionals were ignored. So we are talking the extreme cases here. (I must find a name for them) So my interest lies specifically in the cases where wrongdoing is blatantly clear. The cases to which Tony refers.
From what I have learned in South Australia, there was / is a deliberate attempt to conceal crucial evidence given by this one child. This concealment covers 2 years and involves many people all the way to the top (wherever that might be). In that instance I know the case intimately, and there are no grey areas. There are fraudulent reports and notifications desperately trying to make it grey (an art-form in itself) and hundreds of pages trying to discredit. But it is crystal clear when you look past the white noise, that there has been an orchestrated campaign to unlawfully remove a child from her mother. And it took an army of people to do it. And they used the various courts with great effect.
I guess there are many that mirror this — but they will attempt to keep these cases away from the white hats.
James, there is probably no need to worry that Parliament is going to capitulate to Gumshoe.
But regarding appeal, I point to George Potkonyak’s claim:
“The District Court is the court to which a party dissatisfied with the final decision of the Childrens Court may “appeal” that decision, as of right.
“However …there is a catch: the proceeding in the District Court is a new hearing; there is no review of the decision of the Childrens Court for an alleged error of law or error of fact… Whatever went … in the Childrens Court is swept under the carpet and will never see the daylight….”
James the “new system” Dee should offer is simply this: when a child reports injury by a parent the police should do a normal police job of it. But they don’t as Dee explained in her recent article entitled “a beautiful trick.”
The whole thing is way, way beyond redemption. It is a deliberate Dr Day-ish plot to hurt people. It must be stopped, by people who still have their head screwed to their shoulders.
James, let me add to my comment. Maybe I might be too harsh on the judicial system. I lay first blame on the social workers and the police officers that don’t action the abuses. They are supposed to to provide the Court to have all the evidence before them. But (in these specific cases) they deliberately hold crucial evidence back, creating the landscape they desire (talking Youth and Childrens court). So the judge goes along with the billion dollar Out of Home Care Industry. (opps just seen MM commenting)
Well, now that dear Tony has thrown down the gauntlet, I call for all non-bent Fam-court judges to step forward. The reason I think there really are some is that old Sherman Skolnick used to insist that they came to him for help (in Chicago).
If none step forward, we can draw our own conclusions.
I particularly invite non-bent persons from among the judges whose names popped up in Dee’s survey. It is important that I explain how the survey worked (in October 2018):
One of the qq Dee asked was “Who was the judge in your case?” The protective parents gave 46 unique names, and 16 doublers. Does this mean they are bad? No. It means that “Judge A” ran the case but for all we know, Judge A may have been admired by that protective parent.
Ah, but didn’t that parent also answer qq like “Did your judge destroy evidence?” Yes, but Dee cannot match the two. Her survey company collated the answers. The final product handed to Dee said, for example, “38% of replies said the judge destroyed evidence.” We are iggorant of which judges destroyed evidence.
Andrews, Stuart Austin, Austin, Aldridge, Judge Baker, John Geral Barlow, Bell, Justice Berman, Magistrate Berman, Boyle, Justice Philip Butchardt, Robert Benjamin, Carmody, Judge Cassidy, Catharine Carew, Justice Katherine Carew, Cleary, Judge Coates, Coates, Croker, Cronin, Cronin, Justain Curtain, Judge John Coker, Demack, Federal Magistrate De Mack, Duncanson, Deputy Chief Justice Faulks, Forrest, Justice Forrest, Justice Forrest, Gill, Harmon, Magistrate Joe Harman, Justice Hogan, Howard, Paul Howard, Jarrett, Federal Magistrate Jarret, Justice Johnson, Johnston, Kelly, Magistrate Kaeser, Kent, Justice Kent, Loughnan, Loughnan, Justice Kirsty McMillan, Meyers, Middleton, Monaghan, Murphy, Murphy, Pascoe, Piter, Justice Rees, Rees, Judge Ryan, Ryan, Scarlett, Stephen Scarlet, Stewart, Justice Steven Strickland, Amanda Tonkin, Justice Tree, Justice Tree, Tree, Judy Turner, Vasta, Young
I don’t ask judges to be clean, uncorrupt, fair to both parties.
I ask judges to be near-saints. Not in their off-duty life but in the courtroom. They are not comparable to ordinary citizens, or to senators, or to doctors. They are the LAW.
It is a huge responsibility and an incredible honor. They must DO JUSTICE.
Anything less is not OK.
What if the mother has withheld the children from the father despite court orders on multiple occasions for months at a time? What if she has been proven by police coaching the children into making false allegations of abuse? What if she provided no evidence of abuse in the courts?
Sarah (or maybe it’s Sam) then the mother has a problem, and actually may be the problem.
The question about evidence first, is (1) was there no evidence, or (2) the evidence wasn’t allowed in court. Very different. As to the police proving she coached, that is essentially as good as saying, I got my tax done by a math student (different disciplines). The question of coaching should be easily sorted through trained children trauma psychiatrists. Coaching should be something that could be determined fairly easily in an honest process. Sorry, but I have no faith in a police person determining the kid was ‘coached’. I’ve seen that done before and it was absolutely nonsense and fraudulent. DECEITFUL CONCEALMENT of truthful disclosures.
I see part of the problem is that the system is not too interested in finding the truth. I can see it possible for children to make false allegations in some instances — or for the one partner to take revenge on the other, by making false disclosures — or alienation ones. Alienation should also be possible to detect, but not by a R Bell psychologist.
But now having seen how reports and evidence are “MANUFACTURED” against a protective parent, I do not have once ounce of faith in a truthful outcome via the present police/dept/court/independent child lawyer system.
I have come to believe the “system” is designed to create conflict… CONFLICT IS THE MONEY EARNER. The more conflict and confusion, the more $. I apologise for my cynical view today. Maybe your father friend needs to find a new way to negotiate parenting. What circumstances led to this? What do the children want?
Of course conflict is the money earner. Just listen to the advertisements …
“Have you not received your entitlements from a will?”
“Contact us and no fee unless you WIN”. (And we will f up the whole family with hate to get it and settle on the court steps)
And screw our costs out of the estate!!!
I will add a personal note.
Going through all this years back I complained to a colleague about the family provision system at the time.
Guess what he said….. as a colleague.
“[ ‘Ned’] Do not shit in our nest.”
There you go, until that time I thought of him as a honourable human being and had contested such cases against him.
Out of the legal paddock he represents as being a honourable human.
Go figure! Greed is good!!
A huge ask Mary “They must DO JUSTICE”. being of Dickensian London stock I believe
“the law is an ass”
“The law, as created by legislators or as administered by the justice system, cannot be relied upon to be sensible or fair.”
What I have experienced, witnessed, endured over 71 years living in Australia I know there is no Justice, just fraud, deceit and a ruthless agenda. Even the small hard fought victories are twisted and used with mal intent to create new legislation that tightens the net. Sleight of Hand.
I recently re watched Rachel Vaughan’s testimony -ITNJ and am responding, cross referencing to my life, bit by bit. She refers to the British Child Migrant Scheme and 15 thousand UK children wards of the state sent to adoptive countries. I have personal knowledge of this scheme in 1947 my grandmother escorted the first post WW2 contingent on the Astaurias.
I include this history– we must educate ourselves–research the facts -so we can understand the enormity of this nightmare we are becoming aware of today.

Child Migration History
Australia 1938:
“When empty cradles are contributing woefully to empty spaces, it is necessary to look for external sources of supply. If we do not supply from our own stock, we are leaving ourselves all the more exposed to the menace of the teeming millions of our neighbouring Asiatic races.”
His Grace the Archbishop of Perth, welcoming British child migrants shipped to Australia, August 1938
Australia 1944:
“It is proposed that the Commonwealth seek out in Britain and Europe, in each of the first three post-war years, at least 17,000 children a year (i.e. about 50,000 in three years) suitable and available for migration to Australia…”
Statement by the acting Australian Prime Minister, December 1944
Australia 1950:
“This party is the worst which we have ever received. We have in the past featured that it is an advantage to Australia to have immigrants of good sound British stock. If they are neither good nor sound we must modify our statements and lose one of our most profitable items of propaganda.”
Fairbridge Society Report on Child Migrants sailing to Australia in 1950
Britain is the only country in the world with a sustained history of child migration. Only Britain has used child migration as a key part of its child care strategy over four centuries rather than as a last resort during times of war or civil unrest.
The reality of this policy was to remove children, some as young as three years old from their mothers and fathers, from all that was familiar to them, and to ship them thousands of miles away from their home country to institutions in distant lands within the Commonwealth. Many of these children were removed without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
Like you would do with cattle.
Thank you everyone for your comments re your insights into the Family Court
He who has these attributes: eternal, immutable, invisible, incomprehensible, unsearchable, omniscent, omnipresent, holiness, justice, knowledge, wisdom and power, faithfulness and truth, goodness, mercy and love, and jealousy, says:
“Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me”:
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”.
This attitude towards Almighty God has been written into our Australain Constitution. See how the Australian Constitution uses the statement “humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God”
https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/Constitution/preamble
We all know full well that this world has been corrupted by sin. And even we too need to be redeemed from sin (yours for the asking from God – See https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+5%3A19&version=KJV), because we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
So when evil surrounds us, shouldn’t we look to Almighty God with all those excellent attritubtes and listen to what he is saying to us in his Manual Book (Bible)?
The best answer I know of to every problem, is to have faith in God, to cry out to him when we face divers temptations, tribulations and manifest evil. God is stronger, God is better, God is wiser, God answers prayers. We must do our part too – first of all pray for all men, and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty (1 Tim 2:1-2)
Surely these little ones, and not so little, need us to pray for them against the many nets in society that have been laid down against them. God can raise up his provisions, help and strength in every trouble. A person who doen’t know God will do whatever they think is right, but the way of the Lord God will always lead to life and blessing. That’s why the Australian Constitution says to us Australians, rely humbly upon the blessing of Almighty God.
A chilling reminder that, when it comes to dealing with government lawlessness, being polite and cooperative doesn’t work
