Who’s up for a little civil disobediance?

Who’s up for a little civil disobediance?

Two motorists stopped traffic on 2 lanes of the Harbour Bridge for 3 minutes in protest at the lack of action on child abuse.

Perhaps we should do the same thing but as a protest at the lack of reporting and acknowledgement:
(a) that biological father absence is the key indicator of child abuse risk
and
(b) the Family Court’s role in covering up the fact it excluded biological fathers from children’s lives who were subsequently tortured to death.

Dr Viv Roberts
“has reason to believe” that “in both cases that are in the media; Nia Glassie in Rotorua and [Tyla-Maree] Flynn who was burnt in Tokoroa, went through the family court very recently. Clearly the Family Court failed those children very badly.”

He goes on to explain that the law prevents him stating what he knows about the Family Court cases or even admitting that he knows anything, so he has to say that he “has reason to believe”.
