750,000 across Australia

Mens and Family Rights groups critical of the Family Court and the supporting social process were asked recently to estimate from their readership the number of activists in each group. In a country of jst over 20 million people, with 7.4 million in relationships (according to the ABS), there are 750,000 people -not just men, about 30% are women- who can be considered 'activists.'

The common myth is that only 5% of family breakups end up in Family Court dismisses these people, their feelings and concerns.

Based on the estimated numbers, 1 out of 10 of relationships produce activists.
Their numbers have increased sharply in the last few years, as politicians make statements without checking their sources and facts; as government funding is wasted on ridiculous and even dangerous 'research'; and the public sources of information become increasingly closed to the average citizen.

When spokespeople for administrations or government ministers quote from documents to emphasize horrific numbers, -which has given Australia a pitiful reputation across the world- without bothering to note the sources clearly state that only women were surveyed, questions arise about competency. Why would a government minister authorize a statement condemning every male in the country without checking the biased source?
It's not as if the bias of these sources are not known to government. Federal and state governments fund the groups.

YouTube has become the platform for free speech as this freedom becomes increasingly restricted in Australia. Here are recent comments by Dr Bonnie Russel.


Not Mr Ficticious

Fact - In the last year I won 14 appeals in a row with CSA on various claims. Almost all were the the mother refused because she discovered that the only way I can prove she is refusing to work - thereby continuing to receive maximum CSA and other payments- are virtually unproveable. Because of the way that the legislators have written the CSA rules for variations and applications for change, fathers are silenced.
Fact - My new wife and I pay CSA worked out on our combined income prior to tax so surely that means we are paying their tax?
Fact - Yes we have been told repeatedly that if we get married, and we are honest and tell them, CSA then includes our partners income. But if the mum re marries that doesnt happen. This advice came from different case workers too, not just one.
Fact - Even in 50-50 (shared parenting), CSA payments will continue from the father if the parents don't earn exactly the same amount. The case can be open if there is a liability to each other of zero.
Even if you elect or agree to go private they still send you an assessment each year - CSA never goes away.
Is it any wonder so many more people want this system changed?

  • Get the facts straight.

    Remarriage does not mean your spouses income will be counted - read the legislation before saying such nonsense!

    Even in 50-50 it is possible that payments may also be made by the mother, not just the father. The legislation does not discriminate.

    Please do not be taken in by ignorant venting!!!
