Below, the Fathers4Equality are planning to destroy a journalists career, because she dared to provide material that was opposed to shared parenting. This is an example of the bullying behavior that has been constant from these groups. To the press councils credit, they have complained to F4E for the large number of submissions that they received. if only the Attorney General have exorcised the same wisdom.

I'd suggest you pinpoint the biggest advertisers in The Australian and get
your concerns to them. It works for me many years ago when The Advertiser in
South Australia went in a similar direction, to a point where I was
threatened with legal action by one of the sub-editors. Just be careful how
it's worded, always putting lots of "In my/our opinion.... " into your
arguements. Especially go for those companies that more likely get sales
from men than women. The newspapers are fully aware though of what gender
has the most control of the purse-strings and it's why they will be so
biased in their articles, but I think they also need to remember that men
have sisters, mothers, new partners, etc that all see how bad the situation
is for any father and the kids these days when the parents split.

Subject: [fathers4equality] Disturbing letter from Australian Press Council
Folks,
I have received a disturbing letter from the Australian Press Council.
They have 'complained' to F4E that they have received over 60 submissions
about Caroline Overington's recent anti-shared care
articles.
It seems from the sub-text that the APC is not interested in reviewing these
complaints, as they are asking that I instead write to the Editor of the
Australian myself, and they are asking this in a less than respectful tone.
Given that they know that I had already written to the editor but received
no response, I am somewhat bemused by this request.
I can understand their desire to treat all the complaints about Overington
as one submission, but they seem not to be interested in the issue itself,
and are trying to wash their hands of it.
Well, I don't think this is good enough.
Before I complain to them however I want some private correspondence from
you all on the following matter.
I will indeed write to the editor one more time, with a list of DEMANDS from
us. Given the damage done by Overington, we need to come up with a list of
demands of equal weighting. Lets be creative here. Just email me at this email address with your ideas.
