Wasting Court Time On Ridiculous Intervention Orders.

The Newspapers in Melbourne have Run Reports on How Intervention Order applications are Clogging Magistrate's Courts In Melbourne And Victoria, Here is an example.

The applicant was sitting in The Witness Box In Courtroom 8 and had applied to extend the Intervention Order For another 12 Months.

Have There Been any Breeches of Your Intervention Order asked The Magistrate??.



Yes There Have Been Your Honour replied the applicant, On Many Occassions But he has not been charged by The Police.

Can You tell the Court an Example of How the Order is Breeched asked The Magistrate.

Well, He Comes Over to Our House, Sometimes He Knocks, Other Times he walks straight in, he then goes to our fridge and Drinks Our Beer and then we can't get rid of Him, He Comes Over To Our Place because he hasn't got any Friends. He Uses Our Telephone and he stays until 2 O'clock in The Morning, we Ring The Police but they don't Charge Him With Breeching an Intervention Order, They Just Take Him Home.

Incredibly, The magistrate adjourned the case until the Defendant could be found and served with the Court Documentation on the application for the time extension of the Order.
