    When caseworkers are burned out, unsupported, and politically pressured, families pay the price. Inside the systemic failures driving erratic practice at New South Wales's child protection agency.

    31 March, 2026

    The removal of children is not a neutral act. It is shaped by political ideology, inequality, and unchecked state power — demanding urgent scrutiny and systemic reform.

  • An Unfair Advantage

    3 February, 2026

    Unfair advantage in legal and social systems creates profound ethical concerns, leaving vulnerable parents powerless against well-resourced institutions. Justice demands equity, transparency, and safeguards to prevent exploitation of the disadvantaged.

    8 September, 2025

    Across Australia our education departments publish annual reports which list achievement gaps – by indigenous status, socio-economic status, disability, geolocation and language background – but never by gender. Yet the data is there showing girls are streaking ahead of boys in almost every subject in final year exam results.

  • injustice in family law

    22 April, 2025

    The Family Court has been the subject of dozens of government inquiries and attempts at reform on its road to becoming a cash cow for lawyers and the single most hated jurisdiction in the country.

  • former Family Court judge Stuart Lindsay

    15 April, 2025

    “The Family Court system is in enormous trouble.” That’s a momentous statement given that the speaker, Adelaide barrister Stuart Lindsay, is a former Family Court judge. But there’s much more… This experienced insider blames the parlous state of this vital institution on a campaign led by the Labor Party.

    1 April, 2025

    A new book chronicles the Family Court's 50 years of destroying families and men's lives. It is a harbinger of the deeply flawed secular world into which we are sleepwalking.

  • wicked riches victims' compensation

    28 February, 2025

    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.

    This DEI-based system is a key part of the reason why family men are killing themselves in such numbers – a system designed to chew men up and spit them out. Any decent suicide prevention program would ask what can be done to protect men from this fate.

  • All Mothers Work - motherhood

    16 November, 2024

    "All Mothers Work" is a call to Australians — and Aussie political leaders especially — to truly value the unseen work of motherhood. Donate today to help empower Australian mothers raise their own children instead of being forced back to work before they're ready.

  • motherhood the most important job

    24 October, 2024

    Birth rates across the West are plummeting, and our economies will suffer untold carnage in the years ahead — all because we have failed to assign value to the unseen work, that most important job of child-rearing. Still, we have an opportunity to turn this mess around.

    29 August, 2024

    The West’s fertility crisis is ultimately an identity crisis. If Western civilisation is fundamentally oppressive, why would we want to perpetuate our existence? If we Westerners are destroying the planet, why should we continue populating it?

    In a national, and probably world first, the Australian state of Victoria has appointed a Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Behaviour Change after the Prime Minister declared a ‘national crisis’ of male violence against women earlier last month.

    14 February, 2023

    This week a television crew from the Japanese public broadcaster came to Sydney to interview family law specialist Justin Dowd, a former President of the NSW Law Society. Japan is considering a move away from mum-custody towards “joint parental authority” — which recognises that it’s in the best interests of children to have both mum and dad remain involved in their care. The Japanese crew came to Australia because they acknowledge ...

  • zero male suicide

    19 November, 2022

    Over the last 20 years, I have seen a lot of people come into the men’s movement with big promises and even bigger egos. Mostly they blow in, blow up and then blow out. Sadly, they often hurt other men in the process. I don’t believe Paul Withall from Zero Suicide is one of those men. Tony Miller, the founder of Dads in Distress, feels like I do. We both believe ...

  • divorce

    26 August, 2022

    The “no-fault” divorce revolution that spread across the Western world was led in the 1970s by members of the cultural, academic, legal and political elites, in particular by radical feminists who made the case for easy divorce as a means of women’s liberation. By declaring marriage to be an oppressive institution, they demanded “no fault” as a means of allowing wives to escape marriage and achieve a “right of exit”. Although ...

  • I survived COVID

    19 February, 2022

    I survived COVID, and so will 99.98% of Australians. These are my predictions based on the Australian COVID death rates for the last two years and current projections. Believe me, Australia’s 0.02% death rate is better than most of the world. We have a lot to thank God for. We have prayed extensively for God’s intervention in Australia’s Covid pandemic, and He has answered by sending a relatively milder form of ...

  • homeschooling - degree

    7 February, 2022

    Consider the benefits of homeschooling your children. The challenges are worth the effort to raise independent thinkers of solid faith and good character, with a firm foundation. I know a lot of people baulk at the prospect of homeschooling their kids. Visualising the idea is hampered by what looks like a monumental mountain of details. I won’t lie. Having homeschooled for 12 years, the sheer size of the task is daunting. ...

  • Child Reforms

    23 September, 2021

    Australia’s child support system was introduced by the Hawke Government in 1988. Since that time, it has undergone various incremental reforms such that the system as it stands in 2021 at times seems to work contrary to the well-being of children and their parents.  According to a renowned expert on such matters, Professor Patrick Parkinson, from the University of Queensland Law School, says the introduction of the child support system in ...

  • limits

    28 August, 2021

    Health-hindering lockdowns are by no means fun. The routine COVID-19 “stay home” decrees were agreeably necessary when little was known about the virus. 19 months on, government decrees are less about preserving health, and more about governments serving themselves. There’s little doubt that keeping people scared, helps an increasingly militant bureaucracy keep emergency powers firmly in their hands. It’s with this in mind that I’m reluctant to give out ideas for ...

    I know this bloke: he is an old fella, but a single dad. He has been through the mill before; the ‘family court mill’, I mean. Anyway, he now has a 9-year-old little girl who is living with him. She is a beautiful, vibrant, loving, caring little girl. He has no court orders, hasn’t been to the courts, hasn’t applied, just has an agreement with his wife, and the child is ...
