On Newstalk 1ZB: Children’s best interests should be central Great to see a positive message getting reported straight, I hope the reporter’s job is safe.

To be a feminist or not?

Let’s have some fun. Do you want to know what the feminist are doing with the tax-payers money? Hmmm… Let’s see. Firstly, I need to point out that I have not spent tax payers money on researching this so I don’t have all the credibility (shite) to go with it although I would love to […]

Nobody’s Child.

The commission’s founding father, Mr Dunne, admits he had hoped the commission would be more vocal on family issues. Stuff Article.

TVNZ 1’s program ‘Sunday’ just keeps on bringing out the truth for New Zealanders. We spend some nights on the mean and violent streets of south Auckland.

Carnivorous Collins out for blood.

Sun 22nd October 2006:

I wasn’t impressed with the Herald of Sunday article on child support. Judith Collins has obviously enlisted the help of some of our lame journalists, to promote her cause. Any journalist with an ounce of credibility would have had opposing views in their article. Perhaps the suggestion here is that there is no opposing point […]

Above the bottom line.

Wed 18th October 2006:

For some reason I can’t make comments on Menz, so I will post this, because I it is important to teach society what the individual reality is. It was intended as a comment to the bottom line. I remember writing a comment a while back to this effect. When you look at what a person […]

Men’s rights sites blocked

Tue 17th October 2006:

If you ever get a chance to use any of the public library’s computers around New Zealand that are free for public use you will notice that you can research anything on women’s rights and have access to any site but men’s right’s sites are being blocked as inappropriate. I wonder where else this is […]

Dalziel and Women’s Refuge

Mon 16th October 2006:
