A mother and her daughter seek to reverse legislation from 1979 and ban boys from playing on female competitive sports teams. The daughter suffered a concussion after colliding with a boy during a field hockey game. Though I can see why the mother would be concerned, I am unable to support new legislation that would allow a girl to play on a high school football team but not allow a boy to play on high school field hockey team.

A TEENAGE girl, who claimed someone had tried to rape her on a bridleway, was not telling the truth, police have revealed.

Suffolk Police received a report on June 26 from a 15-year-old who claimed she had been attacked by a man in Red Lodge on June 19.

The girl claimed she was grabbed by the man in a bridleway near Hundred Acre Way at around 6am. According to the teenager, she fought the attacker off before fleeing the scene.

Angry women's groups said last night that it would be the children at the centre of the disputes who would suffer most if money were paid back.

In each case the duped men were able to prove beyond doubt in the courts they were not the fathers using DNA paternity testing.

In the biggest case, Queensland man Ken Rodgers obtained orders for the repayment of $60,000 after making child support contributions over a decade to a woman who refused to even send him a photograph of his alleged child.

Making mothers pay back child support was last night condemned by women's groups.
