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.

The local CPS (not CSA) have their local offices in what
appears to be a bomb shelter, complete with bank-vault
doors and a guard.

Here in the Ladies' Republik they make that quite clear when
they say on their forms: "Other than your name, if there's
any complaints or errors, we don't want to hear about it."
