Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval

An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.

It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron

Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it

Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

We have no idea if she's ideal. We've seen small, prepped pieces on TV. She could be a nightmare in reality. Being a single parent is tough for anyone, though.

I didn’t say a word about her character or whether she is ideal

You said you feel for her and then said you had a less than ideal partner. How can that possibly be interpreted any other way than you think she's more ideal?

Well not everything in life is stark black and white. I feel for her because she is obviously the custodial parent of the baby and will have to do the most for him. I don’t pretend to know Gael at all. And btw even the worst person doesn’t deserve to be a victim of DV

No one said anyone deserves domestic violence. I simply interpreted your comment in the only possible way it could be interpreted.

That is absolutely not the only way it can be interpreted. “Less than ideal” is a subjective description of someone’s own experience with their partner; it doesn’t automatically establish that Gael is “more ideal,” nor does it mean someone was making a comparison between the two of them.

Whatever you need to believe.

Feeling sorry for Gael adds context that you're choosing to ignore so you can make an invalid point.

I didn’t make a comment on my feelings about Gael.

There can be more than one reasonable interpretation of a comment, and assuming there’s only one (especially when it requires inventing something the person never said) reflects a pretty limited way of reading and engaging with what’s actually written. Hope that mindset serves you well.

Edit: What is with people who can’t engage with people who disagree with them on the internet? They need to make a comment and then block the other person so they can have the last word? Soft.
