Applying for partner visa but my daughters father will not sign consent form

My daughter (aged 12) was born out of wedlock and her father has no parental rights in the jurisdiction that we live; however, the Immigration Dept have requested Form 1229 to be signed by both parents named on her birth certificate. I have chased and requested his assistance, but he is uncooperative in signing the form, he has ignored all efforts. (I can only assume that he feels that as he has had nothing to do with his daughter for over 10 years it is not his problem). This is causing great distress to both myself, my husband (who is currently in Australia) and my daughter. Any ideas on a resolution would be welcome!?
