Australia’s Family Law System: Broken

[Editor’s note: An exclusive report from journalist and broadcaster, Amanda Gearing.]

by Amanda Gearing

On Monday, October 22, 2018, six years after parliament decided to hold a Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Australia’s new prime minister, Scott Morrison, is going to make an apology to the many victims.

However, even while he is speaking, there is a small army of children who even today are living with someone of whom they are terrified.

Ten years ago, a child of seven left a phone message on my answering machine, delivering a plea so heart-breakingly desperate that it still resonates in my ears.

The girl, 7, was terrified to go to visit her father.

Sobbing uncontrollably, she told me she was too scared to tell her father she did not want to go to his house. This child – like so many others – can’t be named or identified because her father filed a Family Court action, effectively silencing her.

Since then, I have encountered many children who disclose sexual abuse by a parent.

I have also heard from protective mothers and fathers who were at their wits’ end trying to activate state and federal law enforcement and Child Protection systems that are designed and authorised to protect children, to actually protect them.

Having heard dozens of Family Law stories over the years, there are systemic failures that break the chain of protection around each child, leaving them not only vulnerable to sexual abuse but also helpless to escape it.

After years of reporting on the scourge of child sexual abuse in the churches and other institutions, I found it was difficult to imagine something worse than the betrayal of the innocence of a child by an adult who claimed to personify the love of God.

Yet what I was seeing was infinitely worse.

These children could not escape even if they had a protective parent.

In the case of church or institutional abuse, if the victim did report to a parent, the parent could protect the child.

In the case of abuse in the family, if the victim reports to a parent, and the couple has a Family Court case on foot, the child is most likely to end up being ordered to visit or live with the person they say is abusing them.

In 21st century Australia, this to which our children are being subjected is a national disgrace.

Protective parents typically present as individuals who at first are cautious because they suspect they must be crazy.

They routinely report that they were in a domestic violence relationship; stayed because they were pregnant; the partner left and years later applied for access; the child disclosed abuse during contact visits; the parent reported to authorities; the authorities believed the child; the Family Court’s ‘experts’ did not believe the child and flipped the case with court ‘experts’ then blaming the protective parent for ‘coaching’ the child; accusing the parent of ‘emotional abuse’; banning them from taking their child to a doctor or hospital or even police.

Frantic, they Google sexual abuse, find an archived article and phone in desperation.

Understandably flabbergasted that the Family Law system manages to quickly turn facts into fictions and fictions into facts, they cautiously admit they feel they are going crazy.

The sanity-shattering process in which the court asserts that it is better for a child to be in a relationship with their abusive parent, than protected from them, is completely out of step with community expectations.

The protective parents – mostly, but not exclusively, women – who have been subjected to years of being gaslighted, bashed or raped cannot hand their child to someone they know is capable of violence and sexual abuse.

What chance will a child have to protect themselves against similar treatment?

After hearing many similar stories, I am able to assure these parents that they are not crazy – it’s the system that is crazy.

Protective parents who have never broken a law, let alone attracted a speeding fine, suddenly find themselves contemplating breaking the law in order to protect their children.

Children like the little girl above.

The child’s mother in that case was ordered by the court to subject her child to fortnightly visits to a man she did not want to see and of whom she was terrified. This mother was one of the few lucky ones who won custody of her child, after spending hundreds of thousands of borrowed dollars on legal advice in a court battle. Luckily for her, the child did not disclose the abuse to her mother. She disclosed to her grandmother.

This meant that the usual accusations of ‘coaching’ could not be leveled at the mother.

The mother was ordered by the court not to allow her child to speak to anyone who believed her allegations of sexual assault: her family doctor, a child psychologist and even the child protection organisation Bravehearts.

As Prime Minister Scott Morrison stands to apologise to victims of institutional abuse on Monday, spare a thought for many children who are living today with someone of whom they are terrified.

I hope the new PM will have relevant findings of the ($500million-dollar) Royal Commission transplanted into the current war-field of child sexual abuse – the Family Law system.

  1. “The mother was ordered by the court not to allow her child to speak to anyone who believed her allegations of sexual assault: her family doctor,”

    This mother needs to NOT PUT UP WITH THIS. She needs to tell the doctor. Then if the doctor does not help, she should report him/her to the medical licensing board. Same for nurses, there is a licensing board in every state.

    She should wear her anger on her sleeve and especially let the kid see her anger — towards the right people.

    • I have court orders that specify that when I have access to my children (alternate weekends & half the school holidays only) that I am ordered that I cannot take them to a doctor, counsellor, psychologist. Perhaps because my girls had already disclosed sexual abuse to both a doctor and psychologist previously? How is it that I hold a Bachelor Degree & currently work in a professional health care role yet I cannot take my own children to a doctor…….as per court order????

      • Oh yeah? Well I have a court order saying I can’t buy fruit on Rundle Mall. Is that a valid “court order”? Must I obey something that a “court” has no right to order me to do? Certainly not.

        Oh, Mary, please find me the black letter law or the jurisprudence (precedents) that proves that.

        What? the black letter law and the precedents are in my (and everyone’s) cranium. It’s called “reasoning.” It’s called being able to know the difference between right and wrong.

        Dear Eyeswideopen, no person anywhere, wearing a robe, a wig, or a cozzie, can tell you not to take your children to a doctor.

        Good. Now we’ve got that straight.

        Next task: Make a copy of that court order and send it to me so we can get a prosecution started at whoever wrote it.

        HOW DARE THEY!

        • I’d love to see that paedophile loving judge sitting in the witness box of a criminal court!!! I did take one of my children to a doctor once, the consequences was a 3 page letter from my ex’s lawyer, I will find that one for you too!

  2. .
    This is a most difficult area for everyone involved, including the lawyers and the courts.
    People do assault their children, spouses often assault each other; physically or cause mental grief.
    It is a two way street with many false allegations.
    How is the reality determined?
    I learnt in a criminal trial in the early 1980’s.
    In short; a 13 year old claimed that her riding instructor raped her. The father believed her………He found a entry in her diary. “……lost virginity….”.
    Who was it? Demanded the father? “it was xxxxxxxxx…”
    Right: the police charged xxxxx, the magistrate at committal believed the alleged poor victim and we had two trials.
    The first was hung because a member of the jury knew a friend of the alleged victim’s family and the accused was ‘convicted’ by morning tea time on the first day.
    BUT; two local businessmen considered the ‘EVIDENCE’ in the defence case and said ‘NO’ .
    The jury was out from 5 pm to 1 am after five days.
    Luckily for the accused we had found a witness who told me in conference that the accused could not have done it. He was there and away for 20 minutes and his account supported my client’s account that the accuser and the accused had spent the time attending to a horse way down in the paddock and bringing it back to the horse yard………..It had become too fat and needed a ‘horse yard’ diet.
    The witness who had taken his horse away from the yard in a hose float, left the yard empty and the accused’s horse was in the yard upon his return 20 minutes later.
    The accuser swore on THREE occasions (three hearings; committal and two trials) that the account from my client (collecting the horse) and put to her, was false and that her ‘friend’, the riding instructor, was therefore a criminal rapist and liar.
    How simple is that?
    Our witness advised that he had approached and told the investigating police officer, The experienced officer said; ‘too late’ and refused to take his statement. BTW way: fancy he was promoted to Inspector’ not long after the first trial.
    Right: New trial new town, same evidence: Acquitted in about 15 minutes. I was embarrassed when the large juryman at the back, just after my address gave me a huge wink and nod!!
    Years later the prosecutor admitted to me that she was a liar.
    The accused ‘victim’; (the real victim!) reported to me that when the accuser had reached about 20 or so, she apologised to him.
    You see, it was simple; when asked by the father the accuser just named the accused……..to protect, I suspect, the person who actually did it……….By consent more likely.
    My client was about 50 years of age……just imagine him having to serve many years at Cooma gaol (at that time they went there) and being classed as a ‘rock spider’, his life and local reputation ruined.
    Just imagine Ray Hadly carrying on if he had been convicted and the sentence did not suit 2GB’s (Sydney radio) perceptions of justice.
    There are many accounts experienced by lawyers et. al., involved that demonstrate that there are often two sides to many stories………… problem is, that some wish to just presume one side only.
    So how is justice to be genuinely served Ms Gearing.?

      • I assure you that there are very few false allegations made through the family court. We protective parents would not bother to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees in attempt to protect our children if we didnt believe they didn’t need protecting! The disclosures made by innocent children who would not even know what a sexual act was unless they were party to it makes all the difference. In Darlene’s case, the blood stained underwear and disclosures of the small child were dismissed because the family court does not have to abide by the Evidence Act!!! A Judge should not have the power to have this discretion!!! ALL real cases are being ignored. It’s not a case of a few false flags, but hiding the paedophile agenda of the elite! Believe me, I know!

    • Been speaking with Amanda and several others… and the focus is going to be Family Court. And the system. Ned most cases we’re going to focus on is children 3 – 12 years…

      I understand the above case, and other custody cases where there is a vexatious parent trying to get back at or distress a spouse or ex-spouse.

      But the cases I’ve been hearing are on another level entirely.

      So we are going to try concentrate on how these young kids have been abandoned by the system — in fact punished and abused by the system.

    • Ned, I think we met some time ago on another forum. I might have commented at the time that you wrote/spoke like a lawyer. Nothing has changed. I am glad that Dee wants the focus to be on the Family Court and children 3-12 years.

      • That too Ned. I agree we have to have the entire conversation based in truth / integrity.

        But, personally, I think Gumshoe is not the perfect platform to fix the judicial system at large. That is a broad discussion. What I’d like to focus on is the pedo-crimes that are being protected by the system.

        Take for example claims of a seven year old accusing abuse from a parent. We understand that in this context there will be several options:

        1. The parent is abusing the child and speaks up
        2. The parent is abusing the child — and the child doesn’t speak up but play up
        3. The child is vindictive and wants to get back at the parent, or the spouse is vindictive and wants to get back at the ‘abuser’
        4. The child is making the sh*t up, or the spouse is coaching the child
        5. There is mental instability

        The default position of the Fam Courts at the moments appear to be 4 and 5.
        But the cases I been told about reflect 1 and 2.

        to add: In one study 94% of all cases studied said the child was being truthful. I am not a fan of statistics… but why would families embroil themselves in the system if there was no abuse.

        But what we are to discover, is that the system is actually being used by pedophiles. The tell tale signs are fairly simple to see.
        It that no one is bothering to keep them honest.
        There may be honest people in the system trying to make ‘best’ outcomes, but the integrity and false reports from court reporters and crazy ideas from psychiatrists that help corrupt the system.

      • I have also practiced under the family law system …… but we cannot speak of those.
        In additions, the last family law parenting battle battle I have been involved in led to criminal charges and another acquittal. I hear that the battle is continuing. ……. He is down over $200,000 at least, thus far.

          • Recently spoke to a pal here in the US whose friend in 2010 went thru the identical process.

            Kid age 3 tells Mommy about sex. Mommy wonders how the kid could know. She gets a tape recorder and has the kid discuss it again. Brings the tape to the authorities. They seize it.

            Then they also seize the kid and Mom is allowed to “visit” her kid once a week — isn’t that swell — but only on the condition that she has had her psychotherapy that week.

            It takes only two years for the combined cost of psychiatrist and lawyer to make her a broken, and broke, woman.

            Surely a universal racket. I am willing to help Americans turn this into a civil RICO suit. The RICO Act is a huge, huge weapon but nobody bothers with it. In case I die, just go look it up yourself. You can do federal RICO, also most states have a clone of RICO.

            Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organization, or something like that. Yay! (The case mentioned above was in Florida.)

    • The jurisdiction of Australia’s Family Court is confined to matters relating to P A R E N T A L disputes. Irene Holmes’ did N O T lose custody of her children on any such basis!

      • Sorry if I broke Dee’s rules of engagement, Berry. Nevertheless, here we have a case where Irene Holmes’ kids were grabbed, and see below where an elder was grabbed, based on what is on paper a state policy, but is really “national” within both Oz and US — and therefore which is “global.”

        So let’s say a protective parent wants to duke it out with the SA Family Court. It will help them to know how broad the racket is.

        Right now Dee is determined to go after the pedos as they seem to CAUSE the kids to get sexually abused and removed from the protective parent.

        But once we listen to Mary Clair Connors below (part of Bill Windsor’s 1,000 interviews, God love him — and he was jailedl for it) we find that the very same financial scam can occur thanks to bad judges and lawyers WITHOUT ANY ASPECT OF PEDOPHILIA.

        Bill Windsor finds almost the same brazen theft in the Bankruptcy courts.
        “Bankruptcy is big business.”

        DARLENE CAN SCREW THE LOT OF THEM WITH HER NEWLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THIEVES.

        AND WHY SHOULD HER LIFE’S GREAT VENTURE — MOTHERHOOD — BE DEALT WITH IN THAT WAY.

        GO, DARLENE!!!!!!!

  3. This video is THE BEST. She even mentions the Federal Reserve as controlling trafficking. But in this case, sex is not the thing, it’s money.

    Elders may have a son or daughter willing to care for them but the courts grab guardianship and get the estate. The disabled also. At the end she gets angry — yay!

    • No, Mary Claire does say that there is a money aspect to it but, as Ned says below, the main purpose is to wreck the family unit.

      To get the picture you need to be familiar with the ideology of “Marxism”, particularly the strategy employed by the “Frankfurt School” of Marxism, or what we might call the Fabian (gradual) imposition.

    • If religious establishments, such as the Catholic church and Hillsong were anything other than a branch of government there would be no tax exemptions, no other form of funding, and therefore no need for any Government figurehead to apologise for any corresponding form of misconduct.

      If the Family Court were anything other than a social engineering mechanism there would be no “free” legal advisory services or fee waivers; calling for a Royal Commission just proves you’ve swallowed the hook, the line and the sinker.

      • The distinction between Parent vs Parent and Parent vs State is critical on two counts. In the 1st instance a couple united against an external enemy is a force to be reckoned with. Then there’s the fact that contesting a legally ungrounded charge or action equivalates to repudiating the respective Court process. Asking a Judge to favour you over your spouse(or any other civil opponent) does the very reverse;once you’ve validated an invalid Authority in such a way you really have no recourse re the outcome.

      • If the Catholic Church was an ally of the destroyers of civilisation then why would the likes of ‘Masonry (see Alta Vendeta (I hope I got the name/spelling right)), the Communists (see Bella Dodd), and B’nai B’rith spend so much time and effort in trying to infiltrate and corrupt it?

        All the crimes that the “illuminated ones” are accusing the Church of are specifically and consistently proscribed by her with severe penalties.

        On the other hand, such crimes are universally endorsed by the “enlightened” secretocracy. Do I detect some hypocrisy and inconsistency?

  4. Berry. I agree. It is far too late for a Royal Commission as the Family Court has been dismantled. There does, however need to be a mechanism set up to compensate as far as possible those litigants who have lost their savings in unsuccessfully trying to protect a child they care about. Nothing can be done to restore the childhood of those trusting children who asked a trusted adult to protect them but were punished by the Family Court for doing so. Our PM should arrange for all such children (or those who survive) to meet with him in a very large venue and apologize to them personally for allowing the Family Court to be taken over by a bunch of ill-educated and malicious judges, lawyers and so-called “experts” whose main purpose was to make a lot of money out of troubled families. I refer to AFCC Australian Chapter. See my Face Book Timeline for about 7 March 2018. All those who colluded to pervert the course of justice in the Family Court should be prosecuted and jailed.

    • With respect Helen, there is a larger agenda …. to destroy the family unit.
      I think you are knew here and have missed out on some signifant gs reports.
      Look up gs publication ‘truth in jornalism’ and read the account from Dr. Dunegan on the globalists, UN, corporate, fascist to re-engineer our society as per the agenda otline by Dr Day
      Mary refers to it from about page in the 90s and goes for about 15 pages.
      Alternatively!; search: “NWO exposed by insider’ (1969) and click on the jJeff Rense link..
      Welcome Helen to the big picture.

      • BTW:
        Who are more evil?
        Disgusting perverted paedophiles or our politicians who, based on lies for their agendas, go join the coalition of the killing and; kill children, orphan children, destroy their sociiety, annul their prospects and thieve their inheritance, all based on evil lies and msm manipulations.
        Big picture? Helen.

        • Ned, the current Bill that will replace the Child Protection Act here in SA in a week’s time will allow for children to be removed from their parents based on heresay rather than evidence. I see the big picture. It’s pure EVIL. Children will be removed without reason, the Evidence Act too is not relevant apparently, the onus of proof changed from the Department onto the parents, child’s name will be changed once they gain a GOM 18 & then poof……..the child will likely go missing entirely with nobody even realising it! Are these children in the foster care system going to be used for the 9th Circle Satanic Cult?

          • Well, I do not know.
            But think.
            If you are correct, it would be more convenient to obtain children via the system referred to, than risking the grabbing of children off the streets …involving msm reports and explanations and public exposure by the police.
            Yep. It fits…… use the system? No worries? No exposure.

        • Unfortunately, the rot extends way beyond the pollies and lawyers. The Craft has goons and lackeys in every strata of society, particularly useful are the ones in the media and “public service”.

          Many, if not most, of the low level goons can be relied on to support and promote their “brothers” even if they don’t know what they’re supporting them in.

    • Thank you Helen for your support! There are so many people as you have mentioned with their finger in the pie to make a dollar out of us protective parents! My own daughter who was raped by her father & prostituted out by him……..also removed from my custody & forced to live with the perpetrator of her abuse unril she aged out of the system is now studying Criminology at University. My other 2 children are still living with the monster. I have the evidence that the judge ignored the evidence & attempted to criple me both emotionally & financially. Yes, this Judge and ICL should both be prosecuted for a miscarriage of justice and deliberately perverting the course of justice! The Police should also face criminal charges for failing to act when there WAS sufficient evidence to prosecute! There were many along the way who made more than a buck! The Family Court continues to be a paedophile’s paradise, I know many others currently going through it! If there’s anyone out there that believes they can make a difference to some of these other distraught parents, please let me know!!!

  5. I give up, my lengthy comment has disappeared.
    In short: Client (Dad) allegedly placed three fingers up 6 year old’s vagina whilst drying her after a bath/shower. (first wife and child)
    Crown would not produce doctor’s report even though the Mum claimed to have reported allegation to the doctor. Doctor denied such report.
    NOT Guilty.
    Family law process still under way re second family/child with no similar allegations.
    BTW appeared for client om allegations of assault upon second wife by client. Chucked out in the Magistrate’s court. Clearly, SHE attacked him and he defended himself!!!!!
    Get real, left wing man haters, There are two sides more often than acknowledged.

    • Ned, what I’ve heard (specifics about 10 cases) is NOT similar to the mild accusation case you refer — even though that caused great distress and cost.

      I realise there are always two sides to a GREY story… that is what normal courts are supposed to deal with, and settle. I DO NOT want to deal with those she-said-he-said scenarios. We cannot assist those cases. The cases I’ve heard are NOT grey… they are BLACK. There is almost no ‘white’ in the tales. Tales protected by section 121.

      These are serious serious ongoing injury scenarios — documented. Reported. Desperate parents (mothers and amongst the 10 I’ve heard is a father trying to rescue his son). Satanic cults too (women implicated). This is not an exercise on man bashing… and Charles will be submitting material soon.

      I know so many beautiful and amazing fathers (you are one) — and they should NEVER be tainted by what others do.

      We are dealing with a combination of Dr Day and the DARK side of humanity working in concert.

      What I have heard — you couldn’t make the sh*t up — is beyond what I wanted to hear. (It would “nicer” for my emotional well-being to ignore it like the MSM.) As I say what we are planning to expose is a combination of Dr Day, trafficking, pedophilia mechanisms, corruption and a pinch of lucifer. I might add — We are in Fiona territory too. I have been told of hunting parties in two states. (Maybe I should send you the details of the “neck” case)

      • Hunting parties are well documented in US’s MK-Ultra. Some idiots, including Biggus Dickus Cheney send the children out into the woods and then hunt them, with guns,

        The point is to scare the kids (and of course stimulate the Biggus persons). Most of the targets are valuable sex slaves – ask Fiona — so the Bigusses would not actually kill them, they are too valuable. But the kids are of course unaware that their value protects them.

        Jeezus.

        i will find the Wendy Hoffman video, you really should watch it, as to her advice not to listen to threats of death. She says “They can’t really kill that many people.” Simple arithmetic!

        Hey Dee, which two states are doing it? I’m gonna guess: Qld and WA.

      • Uh huh! and how far are you prepared to go? The “dark side” is protected by all sorts of secrecy “agreements” (vile oaths) and insane “political correctness”.

  6. Just spoke to Dee by phone. I’ll gladly abide by the rules of engagement, so I won’t bring in the Wendy Hoffman Youtube. I see that Ned as also agreed to abide (i.e., not to discuss parent v parent ordinary custody cases). It’s most unusual for Dee to impose any rules on commenters, but as this thread is getting hot, let’s clarify.

    There are a lot of pedophiles in Australia (as elsewhere).
    The pedos are protected.
    To guarantee their protection, “sympathetic” persons are promoted to judgeships.
    As a result, courts don’t function according to law. Worthy plaintiffs are kicked out and also carry a financial burden. Kids are the pawns in court.
    However, even this is not today’s topic at Gumshoe; it is prolegomenon.

    Today’s topic, as Amanda Gearing intended, is to ask Morrrison to be aware that the child-abuse issue did not get solved by the Royal Commission. She asks that we be aware of the kind of kid whose voice can be heard in the audio above. That kid suffers from the Family Court’s crimes.

    Since Eyeswideopen, a protective parent, has informed us that her court order specifically forbids her to bring the child to a doctor, I have “announced” that the time has come – with or without any help from Parliament or Judiciary – WE HAVE TO STOP ENABLING THE SYSTEM by not obeying corrupt orders. Common Sense Must Prevail. When human beings meet an illegal road block they find ways to get around it.

    Let the good people of South Australia stick up for right as against wrong. That’s not so hard to understand, is it? Anyone wanting to refute me, please do so in as direct terms as possible. And don’t just criticize me, state your position on what to do.

    • There really are two distinct issues here:

      1) a paucity of understanding re the dynamic of human relationships: what marriage is,what divorce does, and Mankind’s fallen nature generally
      and
      2) a serious misconception about the purpose of the institution known as “the justice system”

      In order to get to any sort of grip on either you need to start with something a little less emotionally fraught than a Robert Farquharson/Arthur Freeman type scenario

    • [quote= Magnificent Mary] And don’t just criticize me, state your position on what to do. [/quote]
      Been there, done that, but yous seem to think that whinging and chest beating are the answer.

  7. KIDNAP KIDNAP KIDNAP

    Now I go further. We need to prosecute (or somehow negotiate with) the baddies. Yes.

    In today’s thread, someone said the judges need to be prosecuted for “miscarriage of justice and perversion of the course of justice.” The former is not a listed crime but the latter is, and yes it would be good to initiate prosecutions for that crime. For South Australia see the black-letter law at:

    LAW CONSOLIDATION ACT 1935 – SECT 256
    “(1) A person who attempts to obstruct or pervert the course of justice or the due administration of the law … is guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: Imprisonment for 4 years.”

    However, there is a more glaring crime being committed: KIDNAP. The courts are participating in the out-and-out kidnap of children. Thank God a protective parent named Eyeswideopen has got her eyes wide open. She says a new law (scheduled for next week?) will make it easier for the kid to be permanently hidden from his family.

    I suggest that, in protesting the proposed legislation, y’all use the correct word: kidnap. (The punishment is up to 20 years in Yatala for the convicted. See section 39 of the Act.)

    • Is there going to be a final sitting of the Family Court? Can someone bring an accordion to prompt the public’s participation?
      .

      Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves. Start at around 3 minutes.

      • One of the most haunting and captivating music bits ever.

        Years ago I sang in a production of Verdi’s “Aieda” and some of us would nick off in a break of rehearsals to a nearby cafe and start singing, flash mob style. Thrilling! Always appreciated by patrons and proprietors.

        Anyone who wonders why God created the World doesn’t appreciate good music.

  8. Many women / men have lied in the family court. Many women have accused their ex partners of sexual assault against their children.
    Many have lied … its as simple as that. It does make it hard for the genuine cases. These women who falsify affidavits for their own agenda should be charged with pergury .. As much as we don’t want to believe this. It happens. …

    • Dear Just-Me,

      But as we have seen, it doesn’t pay for a woman to state — truthfully or untruthfully — that there has been any sexual abuse. She will end up in the nut house, and won’t win custody to boot.

      Before 1975 the right to a no-fault divorce did not exist. The spouse wanting the divorce had to make a case against the other spouse. (desertion, infidelity, frigidity, won’t wash the dishes, etc)

      I would guess that in those days there was some incentive for people to make up Tales of the Vienna Woods about their spouse.

      But thanks for keeping us on our toes here.

    • Yes, Just You, but the blanky lawyers who support frivolous, vexatious, fraudulent cases shouldn’t get off scot free either. They should be investigated for fraud, perjury, etc. whenever someone is wrongly convicted or wrongly let off.

      For the most part, however, the tactic of the crooks is to stifle their accusers by having goons or fellow travelers creating giant runarounds until the accuser is financially and emotionally exhausted and the matter falls into oblivion. I have seen a couple of well documented cases of that tactic. Fiona Barnett and Brendon O’Connell have published evidence of such and the testimony of others on these pages certainly imply such as well.

      Quite apart from the fact that there is no morally legal government, judiciary, or any other “public service” agents in this country anyway… they are all “private” corporations registered in Washington DC (District of Columbia) which is a “franchise” of the City of London.

      • Oldavid : couldn’t agree with you more. Lawyers are the bottom of the well … however , We as society involves them as that is acceptable ….in such events as family law – property ….. if only both genders could put aside their hate for the sake of children ?? Sadly emotions take over and it turns into a circus.

        • I don’t however believe a word Fiona Barnet says or Rachel , Andrew McIntyre. My own opinion. That goes for Andrews associates as well. There is always another side of the story. Until both sides are out there then I don’t believe anyone can make judgement ….. I have known Andrew for many years when he used to run ample amounts of marijuana up to Queensland with a known perp !! Like I said … you want the truth I have it all in documents going back years …..

          • I can agree with much of what you say… but! for much of the allegations that I have mentioned there is credible evidence. Are you, perhaps, trying to discredit real evidence by spuriously linking it to unsubstantiated allegations?

  9. Eyes wide open : I am sorry but there must of been clear medical evidence on why you cannot take your children to a dr etc. family court does not rule this lightly. There must of been credible evidence .. So perhaps tell us why this happened instead of just half a story perhaps ? I like hearing the whole truth before I make judgement

    • Just Me, I have now seen too much documentation. I have removed your other comment. We have to refrain from libelous comments.

      • I have, in previous comments, mentioned many documents I have that show another side to all the McIntyre claims. But you are not realy interested in pursuing another side, Dee. You altready believe everything Andrew and Rachel tell you.

    • I like hearing the whole truth too. Just Me – I would love to see the documents you have, as I share your opinions about claims being made not being factual and warrant further examination. So I am endeavouring to share my email address with you so you can contact me directly and share your thoughts and insights into what you know about the McIntyres and I have my own documents and insights too. Funny, but each time I post a comment with my email address – Claire Halliday, claire@copyqueens.com.au – the posts get taken down. It’s like Dee doesn’t want you to get in touch with me. Seems like a conspiracy to me…

  10. Where Andrew used my sister for sexual acts against her will. He played a dominant role against someone submissive. It’s the truth. Been reported to sapol in the last few weeks. Andrew knows who I am. We are Asian heritage and MR ANDREW MCINTYRE has history with sapol as long as my two arms. ….. Andrew used to fantasise acts of incest on my sister. I have all sapol reports I’m credible. Is he ??

        • Claire, Just ‘imself, and anyone else with reasonable caution,

          I don’t, and I don’t think that anyone else should, imagine that someone making a credible accusation of serious crimes is, by that fact, automatically elevated to being a paragon of virtue and an unquestionable authority on the whole matter. But! that the accusers (victims) are human and may have been seriously morally damaged by their experience does not, of itself, render the accusations false. This is the “discarded by association or innuendo” that the scumbag media and secretocracy use to slither out of their moral responsibilities and to discredit witnesses and accusers.

    • Its not a matter of belief its a matter of evidence, and I can only think of one reason why there’s such a focus on THE hardest crime on earth to prove.

      • The very best that anyone can do is to steer clear of corporate religion & government services wherever possible and to warn others to do likewise. Playing God has never been known to fix anything.

    • Really, at all. Wow every story. Fiona’s stories as detailed on pedosdownunder. Really nothing there, wow. Crazy Senators, so many I know what you mean
      Prejudice is a self bias limiting mechanism, or am I mixed up with pre justice.
      wow.

      Just me- I suspect we are all outsiders here, welcome.
      citation – really welcome aboard

    • I’m with you Just me, I don’t believe a word any of them say, there is no credible proof except for words on a screen.
      I find it strange that R comes out with all of this new stuff and aligns herself with F, and as for A, the more I hear about him, from credible sources, the more I think………..Well I won’t say what I think, but it’s not nice!

  11. NOTICE on BLOCKING:

    This particular article is ABOUT the Broken Family Court. And Yes — I am BLOCKING some commenters. Why — because I’m kinda over the side tracking. And do I trust their motivations??? (A wrong email entered too) And they do not pay for this platform. Maybe when I get heard by the relevant authorities and I get an appointment with one of the AGs over the topic of this article (Corruption in the Family Court) I will become less p— off. But I am always happy to receive relevant information.

  12. The crucial decision in Family Law cases (Part VII) is what is in the child’s best interests. When a Senior Family Court Judge states publicly that “Even Paedophiles have the right to a relationship with their children”, and that has been accepted as the default position by Family Courts Judges, then what do such judges know about risk factors in child protection?. Family Court Judges have ordered children into contact with and even the custody of parents with convictions for Child Sexual Abuse, Paedophilia, Rape(of the mother), Violence (against the mother and others), Drug Addictions and Dealing, and serious psychotic mental health issues. Such convictions remove the “He said, She said” arguments that lawyers seek to claim, as the evidence has been proven to a much higher standard of evidential proof than a Family Court. I’m sure it would appal every member of the public and certainly the `reasonable, rational man’ that Family Court Judges are exposing so many child to so much risk of abuse, and that so many children are suffering abuse, and even death, as a consequence.
