“My heart sank, my fingers hurt,” says Foster, recalling how her phone rang hot that day as colleagues from groups around the country rang to check in. She felt that the staff she met were open to her message that the government should at once begin to implement some of the 60 recommendations of an Australian Law Reform Commission review into family law made just months ago, or the House of Representatives inquiry which made 33 recommendations last year.
