Intervention Orders - The Arse End Of The Victorian Legal System

I was chatting to a Defense Barrister who mainly worked in The Victorian Legal System In Murder Cases, even though he had worked in this area for Many Years He Described the Intervention Order System in Victoria as The Arse End of Victorian Law.

Intervention Orders were once used to Prevent Woman & Children Under threat from Violent and Aggressive Husbands, but things have dramatically Changed, Anybody who has any sort of Complaint or Grievance against an Ex Husband or Neighbour can simply go to the Registrar's Counter at a Victorian Magistrate's Court, fill in a Form, Make any Type Of Allegation they like free of Charge, and The magistrate will Normally accept your allegation as True & Correct and issue you with an Interim Order In No Time At all.
The Unsuspecting Respondent Only Finds out about this when a Police Officer arrives on His Front Door To Serve The Interim Order on Them

So Now we Even have Intervention Order's Issued Because an elderly applicant in an Intervention Order Complaint in a Magistrate's Court in Melbourne, said she was in Fear because she believed  the Defendant would be waiting for her and was Going to Punch Her and Take away the Containers she Used to feed Stray & Feral Cats. Which didn't Make Sense because the Cat Feeding Containers were Put In a public Place Behind Shops and Anybody could remove them at Anytime, Here is a Video About The Intervention order Handed Down by Magistrate Denise O'Reilly in a Melbourne Court.

.

The Reason Magistrate's Like Denise O' Reilly Issue Intervention Orders Like This is because, They are issued on The Balance Of Probabilities, which Means regardless of any Evidence that May be Given or the Allegations Made, The Magistrate will issue an Order because They do Not want to Be Blamed for Not Issuing an Intervention Order If Somebody is Injured Or Murdered. The Magistrate's Court's in Melbourne also have an Incredible Bias against Men in These Cases because of the Composition The Family Violence Portfolio Committee which is mainly made up of Female Magistrate's. Which Includes.

Committee Chair: Magistrate Catherine Lamble Members: Deputy Chief Magistrate Felicity Broughton; Magistrates Amanda Chambers, Ann Collins, Caitlin English, Anne Goldsbrough, Annabel Hawkins, Kate Hawkins, Graham Keil, Gerard Lethbridge, Jo Metcalf, Denise O’Reilly, Pauline Spencer, Noreen Toohey, Belinda Wallington, Susan Wakeling, Michael Wighton and Acting Magistrate Francis Zemljak, together with the Manager of the Family Violence Projects and Initiatives Unit, Deb Nicholson.
