Senator Hanson, it is true to say that the jurisdiction of the Federal Circuit Court involves a family law jurisdiction, a general federal law jurisdiction and a smaller employment and workplace—Fair Work type—jurisdiction. The vast majority of the work of the court is in family law and there are around 40 judges, the overwhelming number of judges in the court, who deal exclusively with family law.
