The focus of the Canberra hearings will be on government departments and agencies as well as hearing from individuals who have experienced bullying in their workplaces.

The Committee Chair, Ms Amanda Rishworth MP, said ‘The Committee continues to receive a strong response to its call for written submissions, particularly from individuals recounting their personal experiences, and is seeking to explore issues associated with workplace bullying in greater detail with government stakeholders, in particular’.
‘The Minister has asked us to complement work currently under way to develop a Code of Practice: Preventing and Responding to Workplace Bullying and initiatives by state and territory governments,’ she said.

As well as the formal public programs (which are available from the Committee’s website), the Committee has set aside time at Friday’s hearing to hear from individuals about their experiences of bullying in the workplace.
To encourage maximum participation by individuals, who may be reluctant to be publicly identified, the media will not be permitted to report on these individual impact statements and none of the statements provided to the Committee will be published.

Only those wishing to make statements or observe proceedings will be allowed to be present in the room.

Ms Rishworth said, ‘Bullying has serious consequences for individuals and the wider community.
Every Australian has a right to feel safe and respected at work.

While it is not the role of the Committee to intervene in or consider individual cases, we welcome submissions from employers, employees and their representative organisations regarding proposals and suggestions for securing workplaces against bullying at a national level.’ For media comment: contact the Committee Chair, Ms Amanda Rishworth MP on 0416 086 019.

To Committee Secretary, Senate Standing Committees on Environment and communications I work with young teenagers on a daily basis teaching them life skills in a morning class for 45 mins a day.

I have also raised 9 children and seen their experiences with being exposed to pornography.

In these two environments I teach them how to avoid and push against the trend.

To use the full extent of their bright young minds to improve the society around them.
To not be lured into a degrading view of themselves and other people.

I am strongly against the attitudes of sexualising everything, the violence the using of other people for personal gratification the lack of respect shown to women and children sexual harassment the addictive nature of pornography This is pedalled by people to make money at the expense of society, who are willing to do and say ANYTHING to protect their racket.
Controls need to put in place to protect the children and women of our society from people who have adopted the views pushed on them by the pornography industry for the purpose of making themselves rich.

It is a crime whose victims can't tell you about it.

They are innocent and powerless.

Preventing this is far better than trying to heal the victims and stop the violence.

Submission into the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committees Inquiry into the Family Law Legislation Amendment (Family Violence and Other Measures) Bill 2011 I do not support and would appreciate you using your influence against the passing of the Family Violence Bill on the basis of points listed in summary below: A Summary below of what the Family Violence bill really means to innocent Australian men and Children, by doing the following:  creates an effective presumption of guilt against innocent fathers in family law matters  makes conclusive evidence, especially in defence of abuse claims, subservient to subjective beliefs  removes penalties against knowingly false allegations of child abuse & domestic abuse  provides tacit encouragement for Parental Alienation by removing the ‘friendly parent’ provision  perpetuates the offensive and unfounded stereotype that men are a natural threat to their children  perpetuates the untruth that Shared Parenting exposes children to child abuse.
In fact, shared parenting households are statistically the safest environments for children.
 perpetuates the unfounded presumption that mothers are unable to harm or abuse their children  perpetuates the unfounded presumption that women never engage in domestic abuse  has so diluted the concept of domestic abuse, that it can be applied to any form of behaviour, whether it is real, innocent and benign, or completely imagined;  contravenes the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child by denying the child their right to participate ‘meaningfully and fully’ with both their mother and their father.
 contravenes the International Bill of Human Rights by denying fathers their right to a fair trial  violates Sex Discrimination standards, by procuring laws designed to only protect half the population from domestic violence, while ignoring or dismissing the other half.
 has slashed funding for post-separation mediation to force parents back into the Court system  will in effect divert seriously scarce child protective resources from their primary task of genuine child protection, to that of chasing up legally motivated allegations.

 will promote sole maternal custody, which according to the Australian Institute of Criminology, accounts for almost 80% of all familial child abuse.

More and more medical and professional voices are warning that the harm done to children viewing porn, either accidentally or intentionally, has reached such proportions that it is being called a public health crisis.

The list of specific harms is alarming and has many serious effects on developing brains and emotional wellbeing.

There has been a rise of child-on-child sexual abuse by very young children, and one such incident at our local school is known of first hand.
Porn distorts children's view of themselves and the opposite sex and turns children into predators.

Porn is becoming more and more violent and this is mirrored in the increasingly horrific crimes we are witnessing as a society.

The problem is now so serious it needs our government to put in place filtering systems at Internet Service Provider level because the children of even diligent parents can still access porn at others' homes.
I implore our leaders to put our children's welfare before all other considerations, including political advantage and political correctness.

Yours truly, (Mrs.) F.N.

Harm being done to Australian children through access to pornography on the Internet Pornography in essence devalues human life and the dignity of women.

In its presentation, it is animalistic in nature and creates dangerous mental disturbances for both the participant and the viewer.

This is confirmed in extreme cases by the profiling of convicted rapists and their preoccupation with pornography.
Looking at the general viewer, they become more involved in the viewing of pornography as it is addictive in nature.

It has been proven to be destructive for married or committed relationships and corrosive for children’s minds.

Due to the ubiquitous availability of pornography on the internet, children have virtually unrestricted access through computers or other devices.
At present, it is as simple as doing a search with one or two key words and a plethora of websites will appear with the most extreme examples of pornography.

For parents like me, it is a nightmare in real life, as you think of how your child’s innocence is lost at an early age and the real possibility of your child becoming another statistic of porn addiction, failed marriage or character degeneration.
This is a most serious infliction on our society – like a cancer working its way through the body of our nation and corrupting the individual cells of our society.

Unfortunately, it has been quietly developing from soft to hard core and we have been unable to prevent this development due to a virtually complete moral breakdown of values in all media.

I don’t blame the politicians of this predicament, as we are all guilty of remaining silent.
However, due to the extreme level of the corruption of the internet, I believe it is, for the sake of our children and future generations, time to make amends and help restore the moral health of our children and the general society through the introduction of standards which will make the media and especially the internet sites accountable for the material presented publicly.
I would encourage this committee to further research the harm done to children by pornography which is measurable and, if possible, the harm done more generally in society if this is in the ambit of this committee.

Dear Senators, I applaud you for establishing this Inquiry into the harm of Internet pornography on children and adolescents.

As a mother of two young children I aim to do all I can to protect their innocence and foster respectful attitudes to their peers.

A friend of mine was at a family gathering recently where children were playing with an iPad and the ten year olds typed in sex for "a joke" and a child who was six was exposed to inappropriate and degrading images.
I hope this will be prevented by blocking images at an ISP level so that my children and their peers grow up in a healthy environment.

As a doctor, I am appalled to learn that younger girls are suffering horrific injuries such as anal tears and faecal incontinence after their older boyfriends pressure them into trying the things they see in porn.

I fear for women and children as sexual violence is normalised.

Please do all you can to stop this blight on this and future generations.

smh.com.au - The Sydney Morning Herald Page I ofl Victims tell of lives destroyed by abuse I Ar"rthor: AAP Date: 1910712$J words: 291 $ource SMH THREE middle-aged men who were child sex abuse victims of the same predator have told a judge of the devastating impact the abuse had on their lives.
Publi*stinn: $ydney Morning Herald $ectisn: Net'ts and Featltres P*g*: 5 "l have not been able to give anyone a cuddle for 25 years," said one victim at the sentencing hearing of Andrew Dean Mclntosh in the NSW District Court yesterdaY.

"l can only hug my own mum fo r abou t 10 secon ds befor e I become uncomfortable and have to push her away."

A second man said his whole life "has been a secret.

I have lost relationships and felt shame all my life."
The third man referred to his depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, nightmares, problems socialising and extreme and violent mood swlngs.

Mclntosh "destroyed my adolescent years and set me up for a life of continued self-torment and fear", the man said.

As the statements were read, Mclntosh, 56, sat in the dock with his eyes lowered, apparently reading documents.

In May, he was found guilty of 18 charges against the three boys, including buggery and indecent assault between 1979 and 1 984.
The jury was told he whipped one boy with a kettle cord, lavished gifts on victims and befriended the families of boys and teenagers.

Mclntosh also faces sentencing after being found guilty at an earlier trial of sex offences in the early 1990s against a student at Barker College, HornsbY.
The viciim, Sascha Chandler - who has given permission for his name to be used - gave "tendency evidence" at the latest trial, saying Mclntosh, the school's adult iadet officer, abused him on school camps and controlled every element of his life.

In 1988, Mclntosh was jailed for at least two years on five counts of indecency against another victim.

The sentencing hearing will continue today before Judge Michael Finnane.

Committee Secretary, Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications, Re: Harm being done to Australian children through access to pornography on the Internet I wish to add my submission to the Harm being done to Australian children through access to pornography on the Internet, with particular reference to: a.trends of online consumption of pornography by children and their impact on the development of healthy and respectful relationships; b.current methods taken towards harm minimisation in other jurisdictions, and the effectiveness of those methods; c.the identification of any measures with the potential for implementation in Australia Submission to address: a.
The trend of consumption of pornography by children is increasing in volume and therefore danger to children through their far too easy access to it via iphones, tablets and the internet through laptops.

The increasingly violent nature of pornography has young primary school children acting out violent and degrading sex acts not only on fellow students but also on their own younger siblings.
It is obvious already that this is going to head to epidemic proportions which parents and schools are not equipped to deal with.

Children are already becoming sexual predators which will make them a danger to society in general.

It is grossly unfair and unreasonable to impose this preventable situation onto them.

b.

The current methods of protection are weak and totally inappropriate and must be urgently revised to protect our children and society.
This is not a nanny state action; it is an act that protects the most vulnerable members in our society, our children, from sexual harm.

c. It is obscene that adults with the power and authority to protect children at the highest level - the Internet Service Providers, are not willing to do so.
I request that this Committee create laws and instruct Internet Service Providers to ensure and provide evidence that the strongest blocks are put into place to protect children 16 and under from having any access to pornography.

For your consideration and action.

Yours Faithfully, Mrs K Mitchel Harm being done to Australian children through access to pornography on the InternetSubmission 160
