The Presumption of Innocence Conference, August 31 2024, By Ian Wilson LL.B
On Saturday August 31 2024, there will a conference "Presumption of Innocence," to be held at Rushcutters Bay, Sydney, with ticket details at the link below. This will be about justice and the family law system. It is hosted by Australians for Science and Freedom, "an organisation promoting better institutions that embed respect for freedom and scientific approaches for society's problems." The sponsor is Mothers of Sons, "an organisation of mothers fighting to expose the injustices their sons have faced in our biased criminal and family law systems." Here is what the conference is about, a long-standing problem created by the Family Law Act and associated political changes:
"The time is right. Equality before the law no longer exists in Australia. The presumption of innocence has been tossed aside – totally discarded by our biased media and undermined by legislative tampering with basic principles of justice.
For decades our justice system has been tilted to favour "victims", with the result that men and women are treated very differently – by police, the Family Court, judges and juries in the criminal law system.
But gradually the rot in the system is being exposed. Right now, 400 current sexual assault cases are being audited by NSW public prosecutors to determine whether, as six judges have claimed, such cases are being pushed through to trial with insufficient evidence.
We are seizing the moment, and bringing together real experts to expose what is going on here. And to talk about what's needed to achieve a fair system.
Our conference supports all victims of violence and sexual assault and that requires telling the truth about these complex issues. All victims, whether male or female, deserve policies based on up-to-date accurate data and truthful analysis. Flawed analysis can only lead to flawed policy which contributes to the ongoing crisis in our justice system and the current misleading public narrative on these issues.
Most importantly, the current high rates of false allegations are making it difficult for genuine victims to be heard. These victims deserve a better system."
This is a worthy event to support, but if you cannot attend, I believe there will be material posted on the internet, with talks to be live streamed on TNT Radio, Rebel News, Mother of Sons' Facebook page and also the YouTube channel of Bettina Arndt (see below), who has done great work over the years championing this issues of injustice against men.
