Divorce law

/in /by

“Divorce law should be understandable and respected. It is pre-eminently a branch of law that is liable to affect everyone, if not directly at any rate indirectly. Unless its principles are such as can be understood and respected, it cannot achieve its main objectives.

If it is thought to be hypocritical or otherwise unworthy of respect, it will not only fail to achieve those objectives but may bring the whole of the administration of justice into disrespect”.

Evaluate this statement in light of the current law on divorce as contained in section 1 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (as amended).

ACWA Code of Ethics Scenarios (LEGAL AND ETHICAL DILEMMAS AS HUMAN SERVICE WORKER (LAW) Review the scenarios and analyze them accordingly: You have been appointed as a Case Manager at the Dodgy Human Services Agency (DHSA). The Agency’s values are “Client-Centred, Compassion, Integrity, Dignity and Inclusivity.

” The DHSA is facing an audit of their service delivery practice by their funding partner. Your Line Manager, Sally, has asked you to ensure that the DHSA is compliant with the ACWA ethical guidelines. She knows that as a member of the Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA) who graduated from EQUALS International, you will have learnt how to interpret the ACWA’s ethical guidelines.

“Check us out,” Sally says, “and let me know what we are doing right, what we need to improve on, and anything that needs an urgent fix.” The good thing about joining a small agency was that there was going to be plenty of work for you to do. Already, on your first day, you had been handed three ongoing cases that you were to take over.

For each of the following scenarios, identify actions, behaviours, processes and/or procedures that are: a) Compliant with ACWA’s Code of Ethics b) Potentially problematic or non-compliant with ACWA’s Code of Ethics c) A breach of ACWA’s Code of Ethics For each aspect you identify, link it directly to one or more sections of the Code. Where you note a problem or urgent fix required, suggest an improvement, supported by the Code. You must also describe how the Agency’s values are or are not reflected in the scenario.

 

Scenario-1: You don’t use Facebook vary much but Alice sent you a Friend request and, wanting to be a good colleague, you accepted it. Now you keep seeing pictures of Alice’s weekend partying! One picture surprised you because Betty is one of the people on the dance floor with Alice. When you ask her about this on Monday, she says she ran into Betty at the club and didn’t see any harm in being friendly.

Scenario-2: Alice had bright pink hair, prominent tattoos, and a booming voice. She always seemed to be at the centre of any discussions around the office. Alice had been case managing Betty who needed to find stable accommodation sometime in the next two weeks. She doesn’t have time to meet with you so gives you a quick update on her way out of the office when you meet her in the reception area.

Betty tells you, “The problem is that Betty is on drugs and has a Magistrate hearing for theft next month. Nobody wants to give her accommodation.” You look around, and notice that some clients waiting in the Reception area seem to be watching you. You hope they don’t know who Betty is.

Support-for-Australia-becoming-a-republic

/in /by

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/support-for-australia-becoming-a-republic-drops-following-queen-elizabeths-death/dcl351nl0. The article states, support for Monarch is still strong and a referendum would not pass. The article suggests 46% of Australians answered yes when asked if they would support the nation in amending the constitution to become a republic and ditching links to the monarchy.

The article suggests that a referendum is not needed as the poll is sufficient, and the Prime Minister says that it is not the right time to discuss the republic push.

 

Under section 128 of the constitution, change is afforded under the guidance of the Australian people. Change is afforded by going to the Australian public, such change to the constitution will be made through a referendum.

This article is problematic as it attempts to undermine and coerce the rule of law by suggesting that this article speaks on behalf of the nation. Constitutional change has not been afforded regularly with only 44 referenda being held since 1901. Such articles attempt to limit the voice of the public by imposing opinion polls.

The article undermines the fundamental principles of the rule of law by intentionally limiting and imposing opinions on the people. The balance of power is undermined if the nation is not free thinking.
