Australian politician Pauline Hanson has said that there have been cases of parents using false domestic violence claims to gain access to their children after separation.

“I’m hearing of too many cases where parents are using domestic violence to stop the other parent from seeing their children,” the One Nation leader said on ABC Radio’s RN Breakfast show early Sept. 18. “Perjury is in our system, but they’re not charged with perjury.”
