Next for something completely different is ‘Health Inequalities’ or ‘why women live longer than men’. I am not a doctor, nor have I trained in any area of medicine. What follows is a summary of my research on this subject and applies mainly to the UK.

The blog site that names and shames CYF employees who parents have felt bullied or intimidated by, has caused reaction from PSA union and CYF general manager Lorraine Williams, who says she “could not promise teh department will always get it right”.

Well the solution is obvious - to set up a complaints Authority to investigate such allegations adn greviances, as United Future deputy leader Judy Turner said today.

�

It would aslo do a lot of other good.� Is this a generally agreed good idea?

Parents for Children have been advised that Child Support Payments made between 12 and 19 of December 2006 were not processed till the 15 January 2007. Numerous parents have been charged late payment penalties and IRD have failed to contact affected parents.

�

Given that the due date for Child Support Payments is the 20^th of the month Parents for Children estimate that this administrative cock-up may have impacted thousands of paying parents. Numerous parents have contacted Parents for Children after receiving late payment demands from IRD

�

“Its amazing that IRD can treat parents in this manner, no private business would get away with treating people like this but IRD continue to act like a law unto themselves. Everyone knows that there are huge problems with the Child Support Act and the administration by IRD, but Politicians continue to ignore the pleas of parents for real reform in favour of the status quo.” : Responded Mark Shipman, of Parents for Children, when asked to comment on yet another IRD Child Support cock-up.”

�

“Competent administrators would have promptly advised affected parents but IRD, with its captive Child Support paying parents and its culture of indifference, is treating parents in its usual manner. Nothing on the IRD website and silence in the media, no attempt to relieve the stress placed on parents by IRD incompetence and failure to meet statutory requirements. Its disgusting that IRD Senior Managers can get away with this and suffer no consequences and show no accountability. It’s just another example of the many ways IRD creates the alleged billion dollar debt and the myth of delinquent parents.”; Commented Mark when asked what IRD should be doing about the cock-up.

�

“Parents from throughout New Zealand are meeting in Wellington next weekend for the first National Child Support Reform Conference. (See www.sharedparenting.org.nz) They have had enough of the systemic failures, incompetence of IRD Officials and successive Revenue Ministers who have lost focus on the best outcomes for Kiwi Kids and become obsessed with collecting money. Its is obvious that Officials and Politicians will need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21^st century and the conference will be the driving force for the direct action required to do so.” Concluded Mark.

A Happy New Year to all fellow bachelors

2007 will be another year of not having to watch our bank accounts being emptied out by a dumb shopaholic twit we’re legally obliged to support, of not having to be home from the pub at 10 in case the missus gets all cross, of not having to worry that we’ll be declared no longer required by a wife and thrown out of homes and ordered by a divorce court to support an ex-wife who hates us and children we can’t see, and of not havingto go for that promotion for that stressful high-responsibility position just because we’re being nagged at endlessly because “she” needs a bigger house.

No, for us bachelors, 2007 will be another year of…well, of doing whatever us bachelors want to do:

Video games, fishing, trips abroad, playing ZX Spectrum emulators, learning to fly a plane, shagging escort girls, mastering chess, learning how to cook the perfect omelette, hunting for comets, avoiding shopping malls, finally getting round to reading that Complete Works of Shakespeare we bought in a second-hand bookstore six-years ago but haven’t ever even opened, going to the local boating lake and hurling drunken insults at geese, getting chased all the way home by angry geese, downloading BitTorrents of Airwolf episodes, blogging, and generally having a merry old bachelorhood, whilst conveniently also withdrawing both financial and emotional support from the Matriarchy.

Being male and single is great. Far better, generally speaking, than being a married man. Feminism has ensured this.

QUOTES FROM ZSA ZSA GABOR

I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?

I always said marriage should be fifty-fifty proposition. He should be at least fifty years old, and have at least fifty-million dollars.

Judge Robert Dierker’s new book, “The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault,” demonstrates that some judges are waking up to the truth: behind the mysterious veil of feminist humanism hides the most profound contempt for men, marriage, and ultimately the well-being of non-elitist women.

What follows is a dissecting of an appeal to the western media to come to the aid of foreign women in Japan who lose access to their children after divorce (though it is masked as an appeal for all spouses that have lost access to their kids due to being foreigners in a foreign country).
