What this campaign is asking for
Justice Before Judgment supports practical review and reform—not automatic outcomes for either side of a dispute. The campaign calls for timely proceedings, meaningful access to representation, careful assessment of serious allegations, appropriate disclosure, safeguards against deliberate misuse of legal processes and child-focused decision-making.
Children first
Safety, wellbeing and the child’s best interests must remain central to family law decisions.
Evidence examined
Relevant evidence supporting and contradicting serious claims should be considered carefully and independently.
Fair opportunity
Every affected person should have a meaningful opportunity to know and answer the case that affects them.
Timely decisions
Long delay can deepen financial, emotional and family harm. Essential decisions should not drift indefinitely.
One movement. Two parliamentary paths.
Family law fairness
The federal request focuses on family law processes, access to assistance, evidence, delay and child-focused decision-making.

The WA request focuses on objective investigation, disclosure, access to representation, the presumption of innocence and accountability for proven deliberate misuse.
READ THE WA DRAFT →What happens after campaign support
This website’s register demonstrates public interest but does not replace Parliament’s process. The Australian House of Representatives explains that a certified e-petition is published for four weeks for official signatures. The WA Legislative Assembly requires a formal e-petition request and parliamentary process.
Safety and fairness belong together.
The Federal Circuit and Family Court states that a child’s best interests are the paramount consideration in parenting disputes. The campaign supports that principle. It also supports fair-hearing safeguards and careful assessment of the facts, without dismissing genuine risk or predetermining any individual case.
Clear answers before you support
Is this an official parliamentary petition?
No. This website records public campaign support. Official signatures can only be collected through the relevant Parliament after a petition is approved and opened.
Does the campaign support genuine victims?
Yes. Genuine reports must be safe to make and must be taken seriously. The campaign also calls for independent investigation, fair testing of evidence and a meaningful opportunity for every affected person to be heard.
Why are there two reform paths?
Australian family law is primarily Commonwealth law. Criminal justice in Western Australia is primarily a State responsibility. Separate petitions keep each request with the Parliament that can consider it.
Are supporter names displayed publicly?
No. This website displays totals only. Names, email addresses, postcodes and countries are kept in the protected campaign register and handled under the Privacy Policy.
