fathers4equality-megaphoneOver the past three days, the Fathers4Equality Megaphone has sent over 8,500 personalised emails to members and Senators of Federal Parliament.

If you have not sent an email yourself, please do so now. It is simple and very quick way of letting Canberra know your thoughts on this very important issue.

These emails were sent by mothers, fathers and grandparents from across Australia, all in protest against the malicious anti-family Child Custody reforms proposed by the Labor party and the Greens, designed to force all children of separated families into single-mother homes, depriving them of contact with their fathers.

Part of the procedure we followed before releasing each email for distribution has been the screening process. This screening was unfortunate but necessary given that a few years ago our email facilities were hijacked by Dr Michael Flood, a high-profile academic who has entrenched anti-male views, and is a primary advocate for the extinction of any shared parenting laws in Australia.

Dr Michael Flood had deceptively and unethically mis-used our email resources to send ‘faked’ submissions to Parliament urging Parliamentarians to vote against Australia’s 2006 Shared Parenting reforms. Although he had subsequently apologised to us for his unethical actions, we have since adopted more stringent screening processes.

The screening of so many emails was however a blessing in disguise, because it gave us a raw depiction of just how broken this country’s family law system really is, and how it is so commonly used against the best welfare of children, rather than in their best interests.

A few of the very pronounced trends we identified in these emails are listed below.

1. A large number of email submitters claimed to be victims of false allegations of child sexual abuse.

Although we expected a large number of false allegations of child abuse given existing anecdotal evidence, the degree we encountered even surpised us.

According to the majority of these emails, many of these allegations were abandoned at various stages through-out the dispute process, we suspect once the claims had achieved their strategic purpose. This was a positive in some regards, however as one submitter put it:

“although I see my child on a regular basis now, it cost me over $80,000 in legal fees just to defend what were ultimately baseless allegations, and…I have been left scarred for life by a legal process that is designed to pander to the claims made by mothers,  often in complete denial of all the available facts.”

2. We also witnessed a remarkably high tally of non-compliance of Court Orders.

I personally became quite distraught after having read so many emails from so many fathers who have claimed that they had Court Orders for visitation, but have not seen their children in years because of the mother’s continued obstruction or alienation of the children.

You have to ask what point is there in a Family Court if it refuses to enforce its own Orders.

3. Thirdly, we were surprised at the number of grandparents who also complained about loss of contact with their grandchildren.

If you have not already sent and email of protest using the Megaphone, please Speak Up now, because the Family Violence bill, a most malicious anti-family Child Custody amendment, is to be voted into law by Parliament within days.
