Hetty Johnston’s not a moral crusader
July 13, 2008 – 9:37 pmShe doesn’t consider herself to be a moral crusader, but Hetty Johnston does consider herself to be the Mary Whitehouse and Fred Nile of our time. Well, ‘probably’ at least. Hetty told the Courier Mail she doesn’t like to think about it:
Is she a moral crusader? Our age’s Fred Nile or Mary Whitehouse? Johnston Hestitates. “Probably. I don’t know. I try not to think about it. I’m not a moral crusader, I’m a children’s advocate. I didn’t start Bravehearts to create a monument to myself or to give me something to do. It’s not a pastime.”

One Response to “Hetty Johnston’s not a moral crusader”
As a victim of systemtic abuse through the use of the Family Court System in Australia. I would like to point out some issues with the system which discriminate against those that are poor. My childs father manipulated the court system by first manipulating our child to hurt his sisters sexually and physically.
If this was not alarming enough there was more to come. My sons father bragged about how He was able to get away with this and use this as a means to stop me from ever seeing our child again. My sons father claimed the Australian Family Court System allowed him to do this because He found lawyers who told him this was how He could stop all my contact and took large sums of money from him. My sons father told me I did not have the finances to afford proper
legal representation to ever be properly
listerned to in Court and be believed.
I was told by my sons father this was not only happening to myself but others who wanted contact with their children. The Unethical conduct and lack of Duty of care to the children in the court matters by lawyers was a flushing trade.
Children such as my child are going for years without councelling for being manipulated into hurting other family members in horendous manner. Children are being stopped from seeing parents for years. Children are living with dark secerts for years being to afraid of lawyers handling their case and the parent paying the lawyers and manipulating them to speak out to anyone.
This unethical conduct is a case of smoke and mirrors. This should be investigated as criminal conduct.
What makes one parent so intent on keeping a child away from another parent that they resort to the above conduct. What drives lawyers to be so motivated to suggest to a parent that for money a parent can achieve what they want by manipulating their child into sexually and physically hurting close memembers of their family.
Where are stricted laws in place to stop this conduct continuing. How are lawyers been made accountable for their actions. Why are their not stricter laws in place to make lawyers accountable for their actions like in other first world countries.
I have not seen my child for years when He was manipulated by his father on the advice of a lawyer. I simply have exhausted all finance advailable to me for the UN human Right to proper legal representation. My child is to afraid to speak. My childs Doctor is not given the proper right to be heard on his serious concerns for his patient, my child.
What is happening in the Australian legal System
Will someone care and take notice and investigate.
