Law Council of Australia
The Law Council has condemned as dangerous suggestions by Senator Malcolm Roberts of One Nation that the family courts are contributing to family violence and called for family violence awareness training for all members of parliament.
"It is inappropriate to be blaming victims, the courts or judges for any person lashing out and hurting another person," Law Council President, Arthur Moses SC, said today.
"Politicians must be careful not to use words that may incite those currently engaged in the system or dissatisfied with a court outcome to engage in violence."
Mr Moses labelled as "irresponsible and plain stupid"
