Hey, dis is my first post lol....

Could people plz give me sum help wid this question?
"Discuss the extent to which the law reflects the ever changing moral and ethical standards and evaluate the effectiveness of law reform for family members.
In your answer you must refer to at least 5 recent media articles and approp legislation".

I'm not asking ppl to to the task for me (although it would be nice!). But could ppl just point me into the right direction? I'm so confused lol.

Thanks, luv ChIcKa-D!.

Wow! A port High girl!!! What's your name? I'm Danielle at MacKillop.

Edit: And sorry I can't help you. We're due to start family as well! When we go back after these holidays.

 

[still waiting]

Talk basically about how societys values have changed the laws through things like increasing disapproval of domestic violence eg the introduction of AVOs and APVOs, the legislation that allowed police to come involved in domestic disputes, talk about societies increasing acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships and how they are now legally classified under de facto relationships and other stuff like that sorry i cant help you with the media releases but we did this topic in term 4 last year and we didnt have to find articles on it hope it gives you a general idea

im sorry iv only done key legal concepts but legislation i can help u with
refer to the family law act 1975 cth
the marriage act 1753 UK
The marriage act 1961 Cth the first aust legislation 4 marraige

cases:
hyde v. hyde
corbett v. corbett
kevin 2001 case

law reform for the defacto relationships act ammended to the property relationships act and changed by the property relationships ammendment act 1999 which gave recognition and protection to same sex couples and unpaid domestic carers and of course defactos

evans v. evans i thnk is a divorce case

media articles i suggest take a look at sydneymorning herald they hav a website
classroom.smh.com.au

different types of family members should also be mentioned
e.g. nuclear, unpaid domestic carers, same sex, blended, aged, related adults living together, single parent families etc

talk about all that and use ur effectiveness criteria
Resource efficency
Accessibility
Protection
Enforcability
Equality

and how it relates to peoples moral and ethical standards
