A bill combining the court with the Federal Circuit Court received federal parliament's final approval on Thursday after passing the Senate overnight.
He said many of the loudest voices opposing the reform had a vested interest in delays that led to increasing tensions and rising costs."Families who need to use the court to resolve matters at the end of a relationship have a right to expect the system will help them settle their matters quickly, efficiently and at as low cost as possible," he said.
This government couldn't give a rats about women and children
meanwhile porter who has separated from his wife will have it dealt with by the west aust family court which is independent of the federal court and I assume is not affected by this appauling decision. lucky him.
dameladeedah What makes you think this particular “government” even cares?misogynistic_thugs
Well this is what Australians voted for. One Neurons central policy
The impact on the most vulnerable will be devastating. Ppl are just hanging on now. A slowed kess expert system will tear families apart and leave vulnerable children accessible to sexual and violent predators. The chance for hope is lost drastic measures being taken.
helphelpandhelp Obviously just a cost cutting exercise....with honourable Christian intent. barstards at play
And the government don’t care, they are helping to settle a vendetta
SBS Porter is a creep womaniser
jane_wilson We need to get a proper explanation from Senator_Patrick regarding his support for this move. auspol
allisonBeDemure Sounds like a family court 'Stop & Shop'. Minimum 5 item, you touch it you buy it. Join our religion on the way out. LNPfail
All because Hansen's dodgy son had trouble with the family court. Petty grievances by toxic politicians.
The cruelty is the point. Did we learn nothing from Trumpism?
KellieTranter This is what happens when when society promotes a complete whack job as attorney general.
People need to accept responsibility when having a family. Unfortunately there are good dads out there and good mothers out there who are dragged into the stressed system due to selfishness and a desire to punish the other parent for their actions of leaving.
If the Morrison govt was concerned about the welfare of women & children he wouldn't lock up two little girls on an island, and discredit a rape victim.... There is an issue of dysfunction on a dangerous scale surfacing out of the Morrison govt. That needs investigating.
Is that masked lawyer language for ‘its not fair - I might not get as much business or I have to learn the rules of a new court structure, or my deals and carefully managed history no longer apply?
The murderous lunatics won't know which way to turn. But Pauline Hansen will be happy.
As planned.
What we know 1. Porter is a drunken misogynist. 2. Morrison only learnt rape was wrong when his wife told him last week. 3. The LNP have incarcerated 2 small children on a distant island for years. Does anyone think they care about women and children.
Curious timing. Didn’t Porter separate from his wife last year?
It’s safe to say that this Morrison Government does not care for the safety of women.
Considering Porter's attitude towards women, it comes as no surprise that he is in favour of the merger.
BlackHeart_Bish That's why they are doing it. Aussie govt are a pack of right-wing misogynist pricks, full of bible-bashers into women and child-beating (and much worse, noting events in defence minister's office and subsequent cover up).
Are we witnessing yet another element of US-style fundamentalist conservative social engineering by our stooge govt? Is the infiltration of, & undue influence on, sensitive components of legal & political systems part of a push towards Christian Dominionism?
tamaralcoombes This is what happens when someone like Porter is given power over matters like the Family Court - one can hardly expect an empathetic and compassionate approach
Give precise examples of the problem... seems like a complaint without basis.
Convenient on a day where many people can't access it discuss this news.
Australia is moving to system similar to New Zealand and that works.
Well it's rather apparent that the liberal party doesn't care about women and children not even in the slightest
The Federal Government is destroying the rights of women to have fair outcomes
The Federal Government demonstrated that women and children are not important to them. Many many times.
