"This issue involves overwhelmingly, in the opinion of the government, the
right of children in our society to have the expectation, other things being
equal, of the affection and the care of both a mother and a father," Prime
Minister John Howard said.

I think the key phrase here is "in the opinion of the government." Screw
the opinions of individuals - especially those of women.

Is there more to this story than meets the eye? This sounds extremely
insane.
