Notes:	This article discusses the Australian Family Law Amendments and the concerns raised in relation to the protection of children’s interests. It argues that the presumption of ‘shared responsibility’ weakens the voice of abused parents, and increases the risk to children. It also outlines and summarises the key provisions of the Amendment Act, which is expected to commence from 1 July 2006 after the Family Law Amendment (Shared Parental Responsibility) Bill 2006 was passed in May 2006.
