The violence card has been played, and it won the game. A Royal Flush. As Dads On The Air said so long ago, the liars, the lawyers, the bureaucrats and the social engineers have won the day.

Fifty years of ferment, debate, inquiries, bureaucratic obfuscation and the expenditure of millions upon millions of dollars, all that effort from so many people, the thousands of hours that volunteers hoped would succeed in family law reform. All of it was for nothing.

The many hundreds of unpaid hours we all poured into Dads On The Air at the cusp of the millennium, all of it came up against an unbeatable machine, a wave of taxpayer funded propaganda, Marx inspired male bashing, deliberately promoted moral panic, mission bent bureaucracies as the government continued on its harmful, family destroying ways.

Having won the ear of government, having won the day on simplistic ideological notions of destroying the patriarchy, the traditional family and toxic masculinity, Australia’s social justice warriors are left in their own self-contradictory quagmires at the End of the Long March.

They’re not happier, they’re not more fulfilled, their souls are more derelict, the society is more troubled, faith in government is approaching zero, and cap in hand, we approach the revolution. For at the core of any revolution is a large body of underemployed, underappreciated males. 

The Marxist feminist derived ideology which has driven the Family Law Act, the Family Court and the Child Support Agency enmeshed with the education system has inexorably led to a totalitarian outcome. Step by terrible step.

In a totalitarian society, traditional family structures face significant erosion as the state seeks to supplant familial loyalty with loyalty to the regime through indoctrination and policies that prioritise state needs over family bonds.

Personal and familial privacy is frequently invaded. State control over marriage, reproduction, and child-rearing practices transforms the family from a natural social unit into an instrument for state propaganda and control.

The abuses the Australian government has meted out to the citizenry over the past 50 years defies belief. What is morally indefensible is the failure to act on the part of those who were in a position to do so, those who held the political power and could have actually wrought positive change to this wretched jurisdiction.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Totalitarianism is a political system where the state holds total authority over all aspects of public and private life, exerting control through a single political party or ideology, and often employing surveillance, propaganda, and suppression of dissent to enforce compliance. It aims to completely subsume individual rights and freedoms to the collective will or state power, typically eliminating any form of opposition or alternate sources of power, such as that which lies within the traditional family structure.

In a totalitarian society, children’s minds are often subjected to intense indoctrination, where education and propaganda are used to instil loyalty to the state and its ideology, often suppressing critical thinking and individual identity in favour of conformity. Children are systematically isolated from alternative viewpoints, with their development focused on service to the state rather than personal growth or family values.

This can lead to a generation that, while unified in its adherence to the regime, may lack the ability to think independently or question authority, potentially suffering from fear, paranoia, a fragmented sense of self, without natural affection.

The vicious abuses meted out by the family law industry and the encouragement of false or highly exaggerated claims of violence in order to remove a father from his home, his children, his assets, his superannuation and a lot more is in itself an extreme form of violence.

The moral stain of what the Australian state has done, and continues to do, heard in the culture as a ripple of disturbed kids and sad dads and damaged family members rarely surfaces onto the public record, rarely making it into the nation’s media or into the government reports churned out by bureaucrats intent on protecting the family law industry.

This book is just a small effort to try and set the record straight. Here at the end of the Long March.
