Another Bridge Protest Against Disgraceful Child Custody laws

A un-named man who was charged over a risky protest against Australia’s Child Custody laws on Brisbane’s Story Bridge, has walked free from court on bail.
Police sought to have bail conditions imposed on the 31-year-old Ormeau man, who was charged with performing an unregulated high risk activity, but the request was denied.
Lawyers acting for the man said he had made his point through the high-profile protest against Australia’s discriminatory child custody laws, however he did not intend to repeat the activity.
The man was bailed to appear again in court on December 19.
According to statements made by the man, a father of 3 who has spend over $88,000  to gain visitation to his children, his protest was against the Australian Family Law Courts and their complete disregard for the rights of children.
“The Family Law Courts of Australia ….. are an absolute disgrace”, he said.
“They cause more harm and more abuse than anything else.â€
The man claimed that he has not been able to see his son for months.
He climbed down from the bridge at around 7.05am on Monday and was taken into custody by waiting officers.
Normal traffic flow resumed within the following half hour.
It is understood the man was harnessed to the top of the bridge and using a mobile phone to talk to police.
This incident resembles a similar incident on Sydney’s Harbour Bridge by a protester called “Mick” last May, who was similarly protesting against his inability to see his children.
Both men have made references to the disgraceful treatment of children in Australia’s family law system, which almost always results in the child losing meaningful contact with one of their parents.
Unfortunately, the Gillard government have turned a deaf ear to the needs of children from separated families, and have recently passed new family law amendments almost guaranteeing that all Australian children with have little or no contact with their fathers, in the event of divorce or separation.
These new laws effectively contain a presumption of guilt of abuse and violence against fathers  in family law proceedings, that are almost impossible to defend against.

Nathan probably got more bang for his thousand bucks doing what he did than he would ever have got for it in our corrupt family court system.

Nathan,
You are an inspiration. Your efforts were the talking point at my work for days.
One day if your kids ask why you didn’t try harder to see them, you can show them that you did more than 99.99% of dads have.
I applaud your commitment to your kids.

Al.
The name of the chap who climbed the bridge, may also be Nathan. He may have come along to F4E to talk to us and thank us for support.
How do you know he is not a man who reads this blog regularly, which is why he has posted.
I guess we will eventually know when the media print the man’s name.

no, you were already stating that the persons name was Nathan Ritcher from the moment this story hit the media.
I note that my first comment (this is my third comnment) regarding this blogs posting tags to “Nathan Ritcher” and misinformation that the person involved was named Nathan Ritcher (whose photographs appeared in the Courier Mail) disappeared along side the actual “Nathan Ritcher” tags.
Comments that referred to the person involved being named “Nathan” remained.The removal of any mention of the name Nathan would result in the most of the comments being lost.
I seriously doubt a coincidence of the person involved having the same first name as the photographer.
admin/PAW – you need to be more thorough and exact. reporting incorrect information places serious doubts upon your, and this sites, credibility.

Al,
I have nothing to do with this site.
And I was only expressing an assumption that the two people could coincidentally have the same name.
As for your comment about your first blog entry, I have no idea what you are referring to, because I never saw it and know nothing about it.
Anyway, I can’t see what the big deal is. There are so many trolls that come to this blog site using all sorts of names and aliases, just so they can try and cause lots of trouble. Whether the person up top who states they are the man on the bridge and his name is Nathan, is real or a lie, is in the end irrelevant.
I am only here to celebrate another father’s great efforts in bringing a deceitful evil that hides behind legislation, to the public notice.
Good on him. Whatever his name is!

Nathan you do not stand alone far from it. You are a true mentor for most men. Men need leaders as men are breeders and feeders of the family.
WOW FELLAS WHO CAN TELL US OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT WITH US?
Our children will come back though sad right now I ask all men ( STAY STRONG YOUR KIDS WILL COME ALONG ) Unconditional love and love yourselves to stay alive so our kids may thrive.
UNITED WE STAND ONE GOAL IN HAND OUR CHILDREN EVERYONE’S FUTURE WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

Well done mate,
I feel your pain. The more public spotlighting this issue gets, the harder it will be to deny.

Congratulations. Your son will know that you are a giant among men and a hero for him, because you are fighing for him.
I hope his child abusive ex wife wakes up to herself, stops abusing her son and allows the establishment of a decent parenting plan so that the child can have both parents present in his life.
Only this mother has the ability to stop the abuse this child is suffering. She can stop the family court abuses in less than a couple of hours. So don’t forget who the real criminal is here everyone and it’s not the family court! The court is only doing the bidding of this woman, and is not acting on its own.
I hope that you and your son are re-united and I thank you for doing what many of us fathers are either unable to do, or we are simply too afraid to do.

Well done:
Thanks for stepping up on behalf of (yourself) the silent majority.

Its been a hoot reading about this, really it has. I personally contacted a media source to correct their article after yet another newspaper ignored the true source of the protest, spinning it down to a simple ‘personal problem’.
Even the media are reluctant to publish true equality, And questions if all these entities are grouped together to attain the same objective,-ie, the subjugation and ridicule of all things masculine?
Makes you think.

I too have been stunned by how many media outlets chose to refer to this protest as a “personal matter.”.
Is it now a case that the system is censoring the rights of males to protest in an effort to deny that this discrimination exists?
It is starting to sound like 1984′.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/7914178/Julia-Gillard-says-children-can-be-a-political-liability.html. This sums up the governments stance on children’s issues in Australia. Time for a Fathers Movement in this country to stand up against the complete removal of Family Law in this country.
