Author Description

Stemming from a carefully-planned conference on the topic of Family, Education And Society The Australian Perspective, held at the University of Sydney in May 1994, this book examines the interaction of these topics including the damaging effects of the feminist agenda. The first step to finding lasting solutions comes from stating clearly the nature of the problems - and this book does so in explicit terms, exposing government policies that threaten families. Statistics show that there is now a prevalence for children to be brought up in the midst of divorce, de facto relationships and single-parent families. It seems that our `welfare' society is now more inclined to support non-traditional families in the sense of being `more deserving of welfare' than it does our traditional families that are struggling, despite heavy taxation, to provide a home and proper education for their children.
