There is a national rally at 11a.m. on Sunday May 3 calling for changes to the way the Family Court deals with children in cases where domestic violence or sexual abuse are issues.

There is also a petition circulating calling for these changes. The petition is available at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/family-court-of-australia-amendments.html

There is more information about the rallies at:

There will also be a series of Youtube vidoes, one released each day in the leadup to the rally. Parents stories told by actors, professionals speaking about the system is failing to keep children safe and journalist talking about how they have been unable to cover the issues due to blanket clauses in the Family Law Act.
