Child Support Agency Case Studies, The Australian, 19 May, 2000.

Not all these case studies were used.

The Australian Child Support Agency is directly linked to the high death rates and poor outcomes of separated parents, and is one of the most dysfunctional, destructive and despised of all government departments. It is a significant contributor to high unemployment rates and is extremely poorly managed. As one CSA whistle blower told us, the tidal wave of hate and distress begins the minute the phone services open, and does not stop all day, every day.

Australian politicians have either ignored the problem or made promises they never kept. Yet they know perfectly well they are driving people to suicide or tuning their life to mud.

Statistics demonstrate the average money received for the child of a separated parent is less than when the Agency was created.
