It all started when his accuser threatened to have him charged with rape when he refused to resume their relationship after she’d dropped him and then wanted him back.

Sure enough, that’s what she did. Now her lies and manipulation have been exposed for all to see.

UTTER MADNESS

Here’s the verdict from the appeal. Read it to get a taste of the utter madness that is finding its way into our courts. And know that this creature had the effrontery to turn up to visit him in prison, full of remorse, claiming she had no idea this would happen to him.

I’m just delighted that he will get a chance to return to China to finish his PhD.

What is outrageous is he will receive no compensation for wrongful imprisonment – what happened to him was apparently perfectly legal. But certainly not right, nor proper.

And some further good news…

Six years ago I ran a campaign targeting the charity Mission Australia for claiming a major cause of homelessness was women escaping violent partners.

We pointed out this was misleading since the bulk of truly homeless people are male and that there are also many males and their children needing to escape violent women. We even managed to get the CEO to meet with male domestic violence victims to expose him to the true picture.

The result – nothing. The charity continued to pull on the heartstrings of potential donors by portraying cowering women.

Now suddenly they have discovered battered men.

Look at their latest ad, featuring Brice who has been forced to move interstate with his children to escape his abusive, drug-addicted ex-wife.

This is a huge turn-around, suggesting that finally the truth is out. The fact that this major charity featured a male domestic violence victim to launch its Christmas appeal is a big deal.

It acknowledges that the public realises female violence is a major issue and assumes they will be willing to pay to help vulnerable males and their children. We need our governments to take note.

I’m pleased to be able to offer some Christmas cheer, celebrating many new initiatives which are springing up, all designed to change the prevailing narrative, and provide more services and support for men in trouble.

It all heralds a big year ahead, with the world waking up to the fact that men matter too.

To start with, I’m getting political and helping the NSW Libertarians put together their men’s rights policies.

The Libertarians were the Liberal Democrats until the Liberal Party won a court battle to restrict their right to use that name. They are a Party committed to “Individual liberty and personal responsibility under the rule of law” – an alien notion in this nanny State with its prescribed victims and villains.

That means equality – which requires brave new policies to redress the imbalance currently operating in our society. Policies ensuring fair treatment for men, rather than the existing laws and rules endlessly advantaging women.

We are working on the list now – and you might like to help. How about enforcement of penalties for false allegations? That’s number one on my list.

Suicide policies which, instead of favouring women, give proper funding to Dads in Distress,the only organisation properly supporting one of the groups proved to be most at risk, namely dads during family separation.

How about we do a Trump and commit to removing all DEI from all government-funded bodies?

Restore the presumption of innocence in sexual assault trials? No more cases pushed through to court without insufficient evidence. No more talk of “victims” rather than complainants.

Stop shaming boys in schools? And close the education gap by addressing boys’ educational disadvantage.

And, of course, Family Law reform must be centre stage – and the abolition of the entire rotten system is the only real answer.

But a pilot of an inquisitorial tribunal model would be a good start. We must work for a 50/50 shared care presumption, but in the meantime insist on changes to the Family Law Act to restore the presumption of shared parental responsibility and children’s right to care by both parents – both tossed out by the current Labor government.

DISMANTLING

We need a family court system which enforces its orders. And a fairer child support system which doesn’t incentivise mothers to deny fathers contact with their children. Dismantling the current system where violence orders have become the go-to tactic for gaining advantage in family law matters. The list goes on…

We are looking for a top ten – you can send in your suggestions – ideally with links to background documents. (Please don’t send in massive screeds – we will only read brief summaries of ideas.)

We know these policies are not going to sweep any Party into power but hopefully they will start a conversation about the shameful way our politicians have been both denigrating and ignoring men. Our mainstream Parties are a total disgrace and getting rid of Labor should be our absolute priority.

A few months back I published a survey asking for feedback on lawyers and other professionals involved in domestic violence and family law battles.

The results were striking, with the average legal costs over $100,000, over 90 per cent reporting trouble finding good legal help, endless reports of dud, incompetent lawyers and frequent overcharging.
