Most politicians have ignored letter sent by Fairness In Child Support (F.I.C.S.)

On 24 December 2019, Fairness In Child Support (F.I.C.S.) sent a letter to our Australian Federal politicians. In the letter we outlined our proposals for the necessary reform to family law and child support.

There are 226 Federal parliamentarians (150 in the House of Representatives and 76 in the Senate). We have received replies from only 8 parliamentarians. This just under 4 per cent.

The 8 parliamentarians that replied were:
  1. Sharon Bird MP (NSW) - our local member of the House of Representatives.
  2. Senator Jacqui Lambie (Tasmania).
  3. Katie Allen MP (Victoria).
  4. Senator Claire Chandler (Tasmania)
  5. Stuart Robert MP, (Queensland), Minister for Government Services.
  6. Senator Mathias Corman, (Western Australia), Minister of Finance.
  7. Terri Butler MP (Queensland).
  8. Senator Perin Davey (NSW).
It is obvious that most Federal Parliamentarians do not care about family law and child support reform.
