Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Attorney, while it is common for the Family Court to find that allegations of physical or sexual abuse made by one parent against another are unfounded, those who lie to the court in this way are almost never prosecuted for perjury. Given it is virtually impossible for a court to achieve a just outcome when one party goes to such lengths to mislead it, why is more not being done to deter this sort of behaviour?
