What the petition asks

Corporate money & self interest seem to have destroyed our parliamentary democracy.
David Mortimer. is a father who has been through the family court process and suffered many of the pitfalls and injustices of an outmoded legal system, has long campaigned for changes in family law to achieve justice for all, and in the hope and expectation that his sons’ sons and other fathers’ sons will never have to endure what he or they have done. That is the ethos of this Group – to build a better future for our children.

Celia Conrad, former specialist family lawyer and author of Fathers Matter.
