“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.

John Stapleton has released a book exposing the 50-year disaster of Australia’s Family Law Act. I was profoundly impressed with the fact that his heart had not become hard and calloused in his over-three-decade fight against the injustice of the family law system.

The adversarial nature of family law encouraged false accusations from the earliest days of its formation. Changes which have set in since the turn of the millennium ensure there is no consequence for making false accusations, at least on the mother’s part, and have simply made the situation worse.

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.

The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Family Law Act, the single most impactful and destructive piece of legislation to ever pass the Australian parliament.

Have extremists taken over? Are all men really bastards? “Who Stole Feminism?” by Christina Hoff Sommers is a critical examination of what the author terms “gender feminism,” as opposed to “equity feminism.”

"Family Court Hell" by Mark Harris is a harrowing account of one man’s ten-year odyssey through the British family court system following the painful dissolution of his marriage.

"Children of the State: Stolen for Profit" presents a devastating compilation of statistics and analyses of failed family and child protection systems. The overwhelming socioeconomic consequences of misguided family and child protection policies reach deep into every community.

Stephen Baskerville’s "Taken into Custody: The War Against Fatherhood, Marriage, and the Family" presents a scathing critique of the American divorce and family court system, arguing that it systematically undermines the traditional family structure, particularly by marginalising fathers.

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.

A sobering poem on the injustice of the family law system, which can never return time with his child that has been stolen from a father.

The price we pay for knee-jerk responses to a very complex issue is that thousands of, both legally and factually innocent, men are locked up in jails across the country.
Bettina Arndt
Equality before the law no longer exists in Australia. The presumption of innocence has been tossed aside – totally discarded by our biased media and undermined by regular legislative tampering with basic principles of justice.

For all the judges’ talk about unmeritorious cases unlikely to convince a jury, the fact is that many of our juries are sending innocent men to prison — even when the evidence doesn’t stack up.

After two decades of caring for other people’s children, Emma believes she can sum up the problem with modern parents with one simple test: Pour your child’s milk into a pink sippy cup. If they declare, ‘But I wanted the blue one!’, what do you do?
Annette Spurr
I don’t think God’s plan stipulated that children were supposed to live apart from their fathers – but this is what’s happening all over the world. So, I wrote a poem that I hope will raise awareness of this injustice, that I hope will make a change.

If Australia’s male suicide rate could be reduced to that of the rest of the world, 10 men per week would be saved from an early death.

Don’t you reckon that even more ordinary Aussies would stand up and be counted if they knew about this appallingly damaging new Family Law bill, rammed through parliament this week with no proper scrutiny and no mandate?
Bettina Arndt
The Labor Party Family Law Amendment Bill 2023, which passed in Parliament this Thursday, 19 October 2023, created a day of mourning for Australian children.
