Calls for Family Court Inquiry
Our colleague Craig Jackson has joined calls from the feminist ‘Backbone Collective’ for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Family Court.

Suicide and Reason
Zdenek (Sid) Hanzlik’s suicide is a very sad event and may have been triggered by several issues but without doubt the main protagonist was the Family Court and Family Law.

From a correspondent; we changed place names to respect privacy: I picked up a hitch-hiker today even though he had no backpack.
