Australien: Liberal MP attacks Child Support Agency
Federal Liberal MP Alby Schultz said he would lodge a complaint with Sex Discrimination Commissioner Pru Goward about the CSA because it abused its powers.
"The information that I have proves conclusively that the actions of the (Child Support Agency) have had a significant impact on male suicide," Mr Schultz told parliament.
"It has caused breakdown, heartache and pressures for new families where payers of support have tried to get on with their life and create new relationships."
He also targeted the Family Court in a media statement today.
"Institutionalised sexism is endemic and operating in the Child Support Agency and, to a lesser degree, in the Family Court," Mr Schultz said.
He said he had scheduled a meeting with Ms Goward for next Tuesday to discuss having the agency removed or restructured.
"I did that on the basis of forewarning her that I am going to lodge an official complaint ... about the anti-male bias in the way the Child Support Agency operates and its obviously institutionalised sexism against males," he said.
