CSA cops another hiding.
I don't know precisely what has started it, but somebody
in the Australian Government really seems to have those despots at the Child Support Agency and their partners in crime the Family Court of Australia in their sights at the moment. Prime Minister John Howard was recently quoted as saying "the Family Law Act should be changed so the Family Court would presume both parents had equal and shared custody of children after a divorce." which, despite being a long time coming is nevertheless going to give much hope to millions of Aussie men who are looking down the barrel of a feminist controlled and designed divorce industry. In the latest battle, the CSA has been accused of ignoring threats of violence and suicide amongst other things as they went about their business of removing money from the wallets of men and placing it into womens purses. Take this passage from the article below "The agency received 184 suicide threats, 320 client-to-client threats, 48 bomb threats, with four bomb incidents, and 453 harassment calls between 1996-97 and 2001-02. But security incident reports reveal the police were called in fewer than half a dozen of these cases." Now, one would think that any group whose policies and actions cause these levels of frustration and anger would take a step back and look to see if there might be a reason for these attitudes, but apparently not in the case of thedr Feminist Nazi's. Quite clearly they don't give a toss. __________________________________________ Child agency 'ignored' threats By Michael McKinnon, Christine Jackman and John Stapleton June 28, 2003 HUNDREDS of threats of assault, murder and suicide by angry parents have been mishandled or ignored by the Child Support Agency, an investigation by The Weekend Australian has revealed. Federal Children and Youth Affairs Minister Larry Anthony yesterday ordered the agency to explain itself after it was revealed he had been misled by a CSA briefing on its safety procedures. The CSA calculates and monitors child support payments for more than 1.2 million separated or divorced parents. Documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws reveal Mr Anthony was advised in September 2000 that any "possible murder or suicide" threat from CSA clients would be referred to police. The agency claimed staff were also trained to refer on to qualified counsellors "distraught" parents who "occasionally" contacted it. "A few of these threaten to harm themselves or others," the CSA brief noted. But internal documents obtained during a six-month investigation by The Weekend Australian show the CSA fields hundreds of threats to harm ex-partners and children, use bombs or commit suicide each year. The agency received 184 suicide threats, 320 client-to-client threats, 48 bomb threats, with four bomb incidents, and 453 harassment calls between 1996-97 and 2001-02. But security incident reports reveal the police were called in fewer than half a dozen of these cases. In one incident in western Sydney, a client who had threatened suicide was instead sent a "letter requesting (he/she) call the agency". This is despite the CSA ministerial briefing stating that "when indicators of self harm are recognised, CSA staff refer parents to a community agency skilled in counselling in the parent's local area". No records of client referrals to counselling were kept, although staff were often given in-house counselling after aggressive encounters. Prime Minister John Howard announced a government inquiry this week into child custody arrangements, including controversial formulas applied by the CSA to calculate parents' support payments. But the inquiry will not address administrative or security procedures within the agency. Mr Anthony said he had never seen data about threats or other security incidents. He admitted to writing on the CSA's briefing paper that it was "an understatement" for the agency to claim distressed parents only "occasionally" contacted the service. But Mr Anthony said he had been led to believe all "extreme threats" were referred to police. A CSA spokeswoman said no records had been kept of police referrals before July 2001 and no records of counselling referrals had ever been kept. But in the financial year to June 25, 2003, the CSA had received 111 suicide threats, 81 client-to-client threats, 74 threats to staff and seven bomb threats. In the two years since July 2001, 59 client-to-client threats and 46 suicide threats had been referred to police. Asked to explain why these figures did not match those provided under Freedom of Information laws, she said incident reporting and record-keeping had been updated during that time.
