DOUBT DOWN UNDER Monday, December 22, 2008
Section 143 of Australia's Child Support Act is being put to the test. The law provides a legal basis for men to take action if they can successfully challenge paternity. Since the legislation was enacted almost two years ago, more than 300 men have had requests approved to stop child support payments. DNA test results have provided the basis for 18 of those men to file for repayment, totaling more than $170,000 to date.

World War I has been over for nearly a century and while many lives were lost, they have not been forgotten. In fact, DNA testing may mean honor and a proper resting place will be bestowed on some 400 Australian and British soldiers.

Exhumation of the bodies and forensic DNA testing is to begin next year.
