That is just fantastic, Senator Hanson, because people out there have so much time! That is the good news for them. Thank goodness they can find it online! I'm assuming my search term will be 'UN convention on rights of child'. I have so much time, as an unrepresented litigant going through one of the most distressing periods of my life, to google—if I have access to internet and I actually understand that is what I now need to do—'UN convention on the rights of a child'. I thought we were meant to be simplifying the parenting framework. I would have thought a simplified framework would have all of this stated in the objects, not that it would incorporate a reference to a UN treaty. The good news for everybody is: you can google it; it's accessible online. So, in effect, when a person who doesn't have any legal training—let's go with the majority of unrepresented litigants—just wants to find out what a court is going to do when deciding a matter affecting their children, this legislation effectively says: 'Google it. You can find it online.' Is that correct?
