Based on a true story - A story of suffering - A story of hope"I don't care about our daughter." Words that echoed in my head; that I couldn't accept as true; that nearly drove me to the grave.Trevor Cooper shares his deeply personal and gripping story of parental alienation. The story of the uncontrolled chaos when a family is propelled into the "pinball machine" that is the family separation industry. Where ideology and profits spin the score to dizzying levels, and the family-one by one-falls down the ball-return shoot, unsure if they will reappear.Be drawn into the absurd and aggressive tactics used by lawyers who flip their clients to keep the game going: to reach the highest score. Police acting on unsubstantiated statements, bumping people into and around the game. A cast of crazies recruited to intimidate and create chaos in unbelievable ways. Judges, ruling the behaviour appalling, seemingly disgusted, yet unable or unwilling to curb the antics and instead simply let the games continue.A story with elements of an international crime thriller, this is also a story of hope, as the father transitions from contemplating his own death, to helping and saving others as they pass through their own hellish pinball machines, to see the future and live for their children. With additional real-life accounts from Trevor's experience helping others, The Pinball Wizard exposes the incentives built into the system that allow it to rack up huge scores at the children's expense. It provides insight on how this could occur to someone you love, a friend, or a member of your community. It also sheds light on important policy considerations for governments, if they truly care about their constituents and the future generation.

Let me ask you. Are you a prick (or bitch) magnet?Almost all of us at some time in our lives have had the misfortune of being caught out by a prick, and we wind up wishing we'd never met them.

With practice, your gut will very quickly tell you who is, and who is not, a prick.PJ reveals prick agenda, thinking and character, and the strategies pricks use to take control of you. And he provides a simple metaphor you can use as a pre-test to identify potential pricks on first meeting.Most important to your recovery and to your future prick-free life, PJ helps you identify those things within you that perceptive pricks use to bypass your radar. He calls these things your 'prick traps'. But that on its own is not enough. You need to know how your prick traps got there, how they're activated and triggered, and what you must do to dismantle them. PJ reveals all.Based on personal experience, PJ discusses how to deal with pricks, the steps you must take to recover from them, and how to move forward and live your future life with really great Prick Radar.If you apply the tools PJ provides, you'll not only avoid pricks, but be enabled to form healthy relationships with people you can trust: relationships in which mutual positive regard, and perhaps even love, are hallmarks. He knows it's possible, because he's a recovered prick-victim. Now, his life is full of people he loves, and who love him.Above all PJ wishes to empower you, to help you grow, but most especially, to help you be prick-free.

Tasmanian colonial history should never be solely about convicts.Largely neglected have been the thousands of immigrants who chose between their plight in the United Kingdom and the promise and hope of a new start in the fledgling colony.Whilst many immigrants were directly selected and supported by governments, many also arrived as a direct result of the compassion, endeavours and financial support of their brethren already in Tasmania.In 1854 the Launceston-based St. Andrew's Society established a separate association specifically to assist Scottish migrants.Over the following eight years, almost 2,500 Scots were selected and assisted by the St. Andrew's Immigration Society to make Tasmania their home.This publication is a history of that Society: its formation, operations, personnel, funding and its identified immigrants.
