This Letter appeared in a Melbourne Newspaper on the 6th December 2011.
When Lawyer Don McKay says " He Is seeing More And More abuse of Intervention Order Applications' (Woman Banned from her Yard, Dec 5) He Is right on The Money.
The Ease with Which Intervention orders are obtained is an affront to due legal Process. IVOs are doled out Like Ice Cream at a Children's Picnic. They are based on The Tarot Card or Crystal Ball School of "law" where the Likelihood of Something happening is regarded as Odds on.
Since The Do-gooders Moved in and Bandied about such Terms as " Family Violence" The IVO Process has become Biased and acquiescent.
An accused Person is Literally Given no Rights in This Process and if the Police are involved that's the Ball Game. This One Sided process should Be Overhauled Immediately.
John Corry, Box Hill North.
I Think it is significant that this letter comes from Box Hill North.
