The Law Council of Australia has called for the abandonment of a federal parliamentary inquiry into the family law system, citing concerns that the hearings are “being used for political purposes” to undermine domestic violence claims made by women.

So we're having a parliamentary hearing...but we don't want it used for 'political purposes' even though...we're using this hearing to push feminism...because...REASONS.

The Law Council president, Pauline Wright, has written to the chair of the inquiry, Liberal MP Kevin Andrews, to formally complain about the live broadcast on the hearings by One Nation last week.

The video streams – filmed by the controversial Pauline Hanson staffer James Ashby – allowed viewers to post comments, including calling witnesses and MPs “bitch”, “man-hater” and “dirty snake”.

Yes, general expressions of displeasure with someone else.

“We are now concerned the inquiry is being used for political purposes to undermine domestic violence claims made by women and thereby putting vulnerable families at further risk by inciting hatred and excusing domestic violence,” she said.

Why even have the inquiry at all if the only acceptable conclusion is 'believe all women'?

“During my evidence and that of Dr [Jacoba] Brasch QC there was commentary that female lawyers are ‘bitches’ who ‘conspire with each other’.

Lawyers conspiring with each other? Nooooooooo.....

“As well, lawyers from women’s organisations were the subject of particularly negative commentary. Comments include that women lawyers are ‘bitches’, ‘evil’, ‘snakes’, and ‘fugly’.

I love how calling a woman 'ugly' or some variation hits them, despite all being highly-educated, successful, strong, independent, and don't need no man.

I trust that such comments would not have been allowed if they had been present at the hearing and those making them would have been removed from the hearing.

Just because you weren't present at the hearing doesn't mean you don't get to have an opinion about the hearing.

“As well as some generally offensive comments, many of the comments perpetuate discredited notions about domestic violence; for example, denying that the vast preponderance of domestic violence is perpetrated by men upon women and that women are ‘liars’. The Law Council is particularly concerned that this commentary may incite or excuse domestic violence.”

Well, that one's not true. Women are more likely to commit domestic violence than men once you take reciprocal domestic violence into consideration.

“As parliamentarians and committee members, we have a duty to be respectful to all involved, especially witnesses,” Steggall said.

Yes...but not everyone is a parliamentarian. Are the plebes just not allowed to voice their displeasure against their patricians?

“I do not consider the conduct of One Nation MPs and their staff to be consistent with that duty. I have written to the chair and echo the concerns of the Law Council of Australia.”

They didn't do anything but make it available to the public.

While many expert groups and women’s advocates have told the inquiry that reforms to better protect vulnerable women are urgent, the first full week of the inquiry has been dominated by the airing of fringe, discredited and dangerous views; including debate about whether women lie about domestic violence to gain advantage in the family court.

Because...some of them do?

“Virtually screaming at a women’s service ‘what about the men’ does not further the issues in dispute and in our opinion is purely made to enliven an emotional and argumentative response from us and embolden her Facebook followers.

Hilarious in light of the fact that all feminists do is scream 'what about the women', they just reword the sentiment.

“Further, in light of the events outlined above the Law Council believes the committee’s inquiry should be discontinued,” Wright said.

SHUT IT DOWN!

So she wants to stop an inquiry into an important issue because it brings up points about the issue she doesn't like? Well if her side of the argument is right why is she so afraid of having to defend it?

As the saying goes, “Any time you see a feminist shrieking hysterically it means that someone, somewhere is doing something right”.

Australian newspapers also had to stop comments sections within online women’s sports articles. Apparently they wanted all the attention, money and recognition but can’t deal with the trolling and nasty comments Male sports players have put up with since the beginning of time...
