For over twenty-five years this government and
its family court and those that work within it
have ignored their obligations and responsibilities and endangered the lives of many vulnerable
children.
Although this cases focuses on Australia, this
problem is global. And it is made all the more
significant when we realise that once again a system
that was supposed to ensure the protection of
children when their parents couldn’t would result
in so much harm being done for so long simply
because those within that system would not step
up to ensure the rights of the child.

To diminish infant and child mortality;
To ensure the provision of necessary
medical assistance and health care to
all children with emphasis on the
development of primary health care;”
The UNCRC was adopted by Australia in 1989
and according to its own website is the most widely
signed of all United Nations conventions. Grasping
the full extent of the continual breaches of this
convention begins to sink in when it is read in its
entirety.
And it's not as if this is not known — every five
years a status report is sent to the U.N. that ironically was delivered this year, 2016. In the UNICEF
progress report, Alistair Nicholson, chair of
Children’s Rights International stated:
“This report makes it clear that since the early
1990’s, successive Australian governments have
consistently breached the CRC and show every
intention of continuing to do so. This is an
unacceptable situation and one about which all
Australians should be concerned.”
Imagine how many children have been affected.
The NCPA in their proposal document cite the flow

the NCPA proposal document.]
The Commonwealth of Australia ratified the United
Nations Convention on The Rights of the child in
1990 and according to its own publicity states that
this signing… “means that Australia has a duty to
ensure that all children in Australia enjoy the rights
set out in the treaty.”
“TThe problems cited above result in children
being forced under Australian law to live in
violent and abusive situations. This leads to
children growing up with psychiatric disorders,
addiction issues and being unable to make a
positive contribution to society.
However, it seems that even before the ink was
dry and after the self-congratulatory hype and
media spin, the Commonwealth of Australia, like
so many other nations, turned around and threw
the document in the bin!
In situations where families separate as a result
of domestic violence, violent partners are seeking
retribution against the party who initiated the
separation. In recent times there has been a spate
of women being murdered as a result.
