With special guest:
- Cheryl King
Cheryl King is a strong believer in social justice and a loyal friend who does not shy away from a fight with the biggest institutions in the country.
Cheryl met Liam Magill in 1999 when Liam had to contend not only with the trauma many men face after marriage breakdown but also a twist that turned into a nightmare.
At first Liam ignored the strong indications that maybe he was not the biological father of his three children from the marriage but DNA testing confirmed his worst fears. Two of the three children were not his but resulted from an affair that his then wife Meredith had engaged in with a family friend. Worse, the children had been turned against him and the Child Support Agency was after his life savings.
When Cheryl King offered her strong support to Liam instead of turning and running she had no idea that sixteen years later she would still be on the journey to get a decent man and others like him some redress for this most serious fraud which affects children, parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and which goes to the core of who we are.
Cheryl King is an Anti Paternity Fraud Advocate who speaks eloquently and from the heart about her experience and what drives her to continue the fight begun so long ago.

You may have heard of Liam Magill who achieved some unwanted fame as a result of High Court challenge. In addition to the newspaper coverage a book was written at the time called Days of Tempest: the Liam Magill Story. In this interview we go behind the headlines to hear the human story from the front line as never before. A special interview indeed.
Cheryl King
Cheryl King became the close friend of Liam Magill in 1999 as he was about to begin his long journey for decency and justice. In the years since Cheryl has become Liam’s enduring Power of Attorney and his staunchest ally. She says she will help him bang his drum for as long as it takes and the good news is that there is the possibility of the Australian courts taking a lead from the British courts in this important struggle.
