John Stapleton's latest book, "Failure: Family Law Reform Australia", is a scathing critique of Australia’s family law system, timed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Family Law Act of 1975. It is a sobering tale of institutional overreach, human cost, and a democracy too timid to fix its own messes.

New South Wales police exposed a $1.3 billion scheme for making fraudulent child sexual abuse claims. Here’s solid evidence that false rape claims are absolutely rampant, particularly when it comes to raking in money from our shockingly slack victims’ compensation schemes.

Australia’s politicians are frightened of the very monster they created in family law, the literally hundreds of taxpayer-funded women’s legal services, advocacy groups, refuges, and an armada of feminist academics and activist judges.

Our conference on Restoring the Presumption of Innocence was an outstanding success. Messages are pouring in from many of the 200-plus people who sat rapt as our powerful speakers revealed the shocking state of justice facing men in this country.

My toddler son loves playing with his toy vehicles, particularly fire engines, garbage trucks, police cars, ambulances and trains. So when not one, but two fire trucks rolled up to our friend’s nursing home as we were celebrating Christmas, my husband realised it was a fabulous opportunity.

My toddler son loves diggers, or excavators. He can spend hours watching a digger at work, piling earth into a dump truck. So when I saw there was a discount for Dig IT at Mount Tamborine, a mini excavator park for children in the Gold Coast Hinterlands, I pounced on it.
