Imo a more realistic prospect of challenging this than a number of other decisions of concern to the rainbow community taken by this govt & the previous one.
Exact prospects & grounds won't crystallise until evidence is forthcoming, but imo a better than even chance at an interim injunction.

‘Cover-up’ Phillips inquiry should include Family Court, experts say
The Govt will hold an inquiry into how agencies failed to protect the Phillips children, but the investigation is limited and will happen in private.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

When Howard Dean was the Democratic frontrunner for President, he was disqualified, by the media, for yelling "Yeah!" once.
At some point we just have to admit that mainstream media sources are biased.

Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media
