Men Under Labour, Dads on the Air, 12 May, 2009.

Men Under Labor

With special guests:
  • John Flanagan
  • George Potkonyak
  • Geoffrey Greene and
  • Phil York.
This week Dads On The Air, which began with a group of separated blokes damaged by and brave enough to raise a voice against the overwhelming anti-father bias of Australia’s family law system, returns to its roots. We talk with John Flanagan from the Equal Parenting PartyGeorge Potkonyak a solicitor dealing with family law and child support issues, Phil York from Dads in Distress and Geoffrey Greene from the Shared Parenting Council of Australia.
Democracy has failed the nation’s fathers. Issues of concern to dads, including men’s health, long and unreasonable work hours, poor pay, family law, child support and a host of other issues are never or rarely ever addressed by our politicians. The electoral success of leftwing governments hostage to feminist lobby groups in America, Australia and the UK has simply made the situation worse. Corrupt and unaccountable systems thrive in secrecy while the nation’s politicians look the other way.
In Australia there are serious concerns that even the modest reforms introduced by the previous government aimed at creating at least an element of fairness into family law are about to be wiped away. Extreme male bashing taxpayer funded women’s groups are mounting a spirited campaign to return the world to the dark ages when most fathers caught up in family law never or rarely ever saw their children again.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has made great play out of his devotion to feminist causes, ignoring the many issues which affect his own gender. He is following the example of his hero Barack Obama, who as made sure feminist causes are a major plank of his government’s operations. Many critics believe that as a result of this abject devotion to fashionable ideologies the situation for many fathers is getting worse under both leaders.
