One in Three Campaign submission to Family Violence Bill 2010
The One in Three Campaign has lodged its submission with the Attorney General's department in response to the proposed Family Violence Bill 2010. The submission urges the Government to abandon the proposed changes to the Family Law Act and to commission an open and transparent public inquiry into the 2006 amendments, and any further changes that are needed to improve Family Law for all Australians. Should the proposed changes regrettably proceed, the Government is urged to revise the proposed definition of family violence so that it retains the “reasonableness clause” and contains the central idea of dominating or controlling another family member.
