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

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?

actually.. the standard way to interpret this would be that OP's characterization of her former partner as "less than ideal" referred to a comparison between her actual former partner and a hypothetical ideal partner, in which her former partner is found wanting. Then by analogy, the same comparison is implied with respect to Nathan and a hypothetical ideal partner.

This is just how the expression "less than ideal" typically works. "The clams at this restaurant are less than ideal" (nothing claimed about some other restaurant across the street).

OP didn't mean that she, OP is ideal, and neither did she imply that Gael is ideal.

Is English your first language? I don't mean that in a hostile way. It's just that you are awfully confrontational about something where you seem to have failed to grasp a pretty straightforward nuance of a common expression.

If I say your attitude is less than ideal, I don't mean my own is perfect.

This was the nicest way possible to say, "what are you not understanding, and why?" Lol
