Mens Rights Agency Report

Sue Price of the Mens Rights Agency compiled a report in June 2003 called:

Just who is assaulting our children?

The report, compiled from numerous studies across Australia and supported by international data from the UK and US, is startling, eye-opening, and .. a shockah!
(Each statement and conclusion in the report is supported by research citations in the bibliography at the end of the report.)

Since Blogger seems to be having some sort of internal server problems, I'll just post a couple of interesting quotes for now.

Sociologist Bettina Arndt commented in a recent article

“It hasn't helped that so many professionals remain wilfully ignorant of the statistical realities. International research now shows that less than 1 per cent of children are sexually abused by their fathers. So it is shocking that a recent survey commissioned by the Department of Family and Community Services showed 35 per cent of female health, education and welfare professionals believe up to 24 per cent of fathers abuse their children.”

Ms Arndt has written extensively on this subject for The Age. Her commentaries can be found here. Further from the report:

Domestic Violence:

Magistrates in both NSW and Queensland have identified the misuse of domestic violence orders to gain an advantage in Family Court proceedings.

Anecdotal evidence supplied to MRA by police officers and court staff, who are scared to reveal their identity, believe that only 5 per cent of DV applications are genuine.

It is not in the best interests of the domestic violence industry to acknowledge the level of female on male abuse for that would destroy the myth that has been created i.e. only men are perpetrators and only women victims.

The anecdotal evidence cited above is supported, at this point also anecdotally, by the results from the Family Court of Australiareforms. When faced with a 'Put up or shut up." from both the federal magistrates and the opposing counsels, about 75% of abuse allegations disappear.
Previously, such allegations would have derailed the court process for years.

In Australia, the most probable abusers are women (42%), as opposed to men (4%). This fact flies in the face of the assumptions which drive the horrid prejudices of the legal and social system, especially in Victoria under AG Rob Hulls -- where the courts have created the statistic that 87% of men are abusers.

When will leaders move to charge false allegations of abuse and intimate partner violence for what it is: perjury, abuse (of the other person), contempt of court and an effort to pervert the course of justice, child abuse, and attempted extortion? Soon, I hope, because every case is a drop of poison on the future of the country.
Despite the attitude expressed as "You go to court to lie." that permeates the Australian consciousness, these people should go to jail. It cannot be reasonably construed that Australians want to distrust their courts and government.

And when will the leaders of the psychological and legal professions move to punish those who instigate and coach such crimes?
Any professional -- mediator, psychologist, social worker, or lawyer -- who coaches a client to lie to the courts should be publicly exposed, and stripped of their license to practice their profession. Ideally, they should be looking at heavy fines and jail terms.
The roads should be opened for civil action to recoup for libel and slander, supported by the prosecution of criminal charges.

Emotional, neglect and physical abuse:

An Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report found 22% of physical abuse, 32% emotional abuse, 41% neglect and only 5% sexual abuse comprised Queensland’s substantiated cases of child abuse.

The report also found that 24% of substantiated abuse occurred in two parent natural families, 22 % in two parent other (blended) families, 42% in single female parent families and 4% in single male parent families.

Other Australian states and overseas figures provide similar results.

These figures reflect not the mass of allegations of abuse, fueled by the blind ignorant prejudice largely in the state courts and legal system, but substantiated cases of emotional abuse, neglect, and physical abuse of children.

Sexual abuse: (of children)

...
A third of children are sexually abused by adolescents 11 and women, in their attempts to find a mate, may unwittingly be putting their children at greater risk for sexual abuse from the men they date. If the mother remarries, according to a survey done by Russell, 12 the "stepdaughters are over eight times more at risk of sexual abuse by the stepfathers who reared them than are daughters reared by their biological fathers."
"As some researchers have begun to suspect, it may be the case that a growing number of stepfathers are really 'smart paedophiles', men who marry divorced or single women with families as a way of getting close to children."

Because of the current attitudes in Australia, a decent man who does not abuse daughters or stepdaughters is essentially an outlaw. That's ludicrous, but it is the reality today.

Why are the politicians and state officials perpetrating this sort of perverse fraud on the public? Because of political pressure from a small number of radicals who have a vested interest in the abuse economy, is one conclusion that holds up well under scrutiny.
