We keep referring to unrepresented litigants in the line of questioning pursued by both Senator Hanson and Senator Scarr and in relation to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. There will be many parents—and we can imagine them; we have spoken to them, and we may well know them—who are going through a separation and are not legally trained. Like most people, they wouldn't know the first thing about the actual legal framework of family law. If you look at the parenting framework as is now drafted and as is before the Australian Senate, you will see that a court deciding your matter will try to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Just for the public's reference—for those who, when this bill does eventually go through, will be operating under these new provisions—where does a member of the public find the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?
