To the Prime Minister of Australia, the Honourable Malcolm Turnbull, The Attorney General of Western Australia, the Honourable Michael Minschin MLA, and the Shadow Attorney General, John Quigley MLA.

We, the people, demand a Royal Commission into the conduct of all areas of the Family Court of Australia, The Family Court of Western Australia and the Federal Circuit Court.

We believe that a child has a right to both a mother and a father. It is a sacrifice that must be made, when a couple separates, to remember that a child loves his or her parents unconditionally. Therefore, in the first instance, and where both parties want it, we believe that equal custody is the best option for the child, except in cases of domestic violence. In cases of domestic violence, the child should be protected from the role modelling of the aggressor and reside with the innocent party. 

We believe that the needs of the parents come second to the child but are also important. We are sick of being treated inhumanely.

We, the people, demand transparency for the general public by removal of all Sections of the Family Law Act that offer protection to the conduct of the Court.

We, the people, DEMAND that the Family Court of Australia, the Family Court of Western Australia and the Federal Circuit Court prosecute litigants for perjury, vexatious claims, fraud and for making false allegations to gain a 'strategic advantage' in Court. 

We, the people, demand that Independent Children's Lawyers be required to spend extensive time actually meeting those they represent, namely the children.

We, the people, demand that the Anti Discrimination Act 1993 be broadened to include discrimination in legal proceedings and be applied in the Family Court system to protect the vulnerable. We demand that it be illegal to discriminate on the basis of age, sex, disability, marriage status or race.  

We, the people, demand an immediate investigation into the legal profession and other professions that services the Family Court of Australia, the Family Court of Western Australia and the Federal Circuit Court. We, the people, demand greater funding and resources for Legal Aid.

We, the people, demand the children be heard by means of approaching the Judge directly, by letter or by an advocate of the child’s choice. We are not listening to our children.

We, the people, believe that our children deserve to know what is happening. We should be able to speak to them about the Court process in a manner which is age appropriate.

We, the people, demand ‘The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child’ be included into a bill for parliament as an official Act.

We, the people, demand the true rights of the child be prioritised. Our Family Court system must in the name of natural justice and equality respect the UN Convention and associated humanitarian considerations. Our children have a right to feel safe, heard and to experience a happy, loving childhood that will help them develop to their full potential. Our children deserve happy childhoods.

 We, the people, believe all cases in Family Law should apply Common Law. 

Give children the right to be heard in their own lives! Treat our children with respect, integrity and compassion!
