MENZ Issues: news and discussion about New Zealand men, fathers, family law, divorce, courts, protests, gender politics, and male health.

It seems that CYFSWATCH has been removed overnight.

Another blow for Free Speech in New Zealand.

Don’t be fooled by the CYF complaints authority proposal. While United Future is hailing this as a big success the government position is that the authority will not be independent but will form part of the ministry of social development. This is not an independent authority; it is just hiring a few more people in a government department to investigate a lack of responsibility by the same department. If CYF is failing that failure belongs to Ruth Dyson and the head of her department, and it will continue to fail while government policy and the family court produce even more work for CYF.
Even if it was independent the new commission would be consummated by Labour cronies just like the Families Commission was.

Joke of the week….

United Future on domestic violence…..

United Future leader Peter Dunne says the weekend’s tragic events like the stabbing of children in Naenae and violent attacks in south Auckland and Wellington call for prompt action from the Government.
“New Zealanders have become heartily sick of these outbreaks of violence seemingly every weekend.
“We have a Families Commission which the Government should urge to report back within a short time frame about the causes of domestic and street violence in New Zealand and what can be done about it as soon as possible,” he says. I urge the government to get the Families Commission involved immediately and get some action underway,” says Mr Dunne.

What a bloody Prattler. You are the Government. Remember! You own the other end of the coalition agreement! Remember! You get a ministerial salary. Remember!
Have you got an ounce political responsibility or are you just another Labour gauleiter. Doesn’t your coalition agreement work? Why don’t you tell us what the Government is going to do? Why don’t you tell us what policy you will implement instead of clinging to your feel good astatic white elephant

An Invitation to Enlist for Operation 2008
Issued by the New Zealand Child Support Reform Conference 2007

Dear equal parental rights and responsibilities supporter,

This is an invitation to enlist as a founding member of Operation 2008.

By coordinating, planning and acting together at a level of non-violent direct action appropriate to individual members we can create the synergy to achieve shared parenting and fair and reasonable child support.

By enlisting for Operation 2008 you agree with the following:

* There is an urgent need to enshrine in New Zealand law the right of every child to be equally parented by both parents and the right of both parents to equally parent their child:

o To ensure the best outcomes for Kiwi Kids.

* Action is needed to place Child Support and Family Law on the election agenda in 2008.

* Support the solution: The Donkin Method supporting Jayden’s Law.

* Agree to take part in escalating, non-violent direct action culminating in a month of coordinated action during the 2008 election campaign.

* Be committed to the principle of “Same Goal - Different Paths”:

o Members seek the same goal, but the level of action that members may be able to commit to may be different. Co-ordinated action is important to achieving the goal.

* That only the spokesperson appointed by the New Zealand Child Support Conference 2007 can speak on behalf of Operation 2008.

o Members can refer to themselves as supporters of Operation 2008 when speaking in public or by using the Supporter of Operation 2008 logo.

All Operation 2008 communications will be exclusively electronic via the Internet. If you do not have access to email or Skype, an attempt will be made to attach you to a “buddy” to pass information along to you.

Electronic registration available at Operation 2008

As we are all aware, or should be!
Bothering was to reactivate on the 25th of February 2007 per Jim B of HandsOnEqualParentTrustWhich is next Sunday after a symphonising and promoting in the park if you were there.
Judith Collins at Clevedon for demonising Dads was a possible target.
Peter Topzand CYFS ditto.
The names are endless but resources aren’t.
Refer to to the Coalition Handbook, and do what you can for the cause.

I remain yours faithfully

Dear All,

On the 24th we have Symphony in the Park, what a wonderful opportunity we have to have a gathering of our like minded associates and to provide information to the general populace.
Fathers Coalition will be there as always with Mike being unaware he being a significant backbone to the Coalition.
Fathers Coalition will be reinforced by Paul and Opal (regrettably without Ben Easton).
I have some postcard compilations that advertise the North Shore Mens Centre to give away.
Suggestions: Anyone attending donate and give out infomally advertised light sticks & bags of lollies etc…, regrettably I cannot provide the funds for this venture in its entirety, as my Life after death would now constrict future happiness.
Be there, be good, stand tall, and make it work.
Call me to indicate and enhance the support,

Paul Catton

Found this on Google encourage you all to contribute.

The Child Support Act 1991 causes untold misery for New Zealand parents and children.Politicians and Officials continue to ignore the pleas of parents and children for reform.Parents have had enough and here is a space to remind those officials that they can no longer hide under a vale of secrecy. Take the opportunity to tell the truth of your experience of the New Zealand’s Child Support (Tax) System. Open up the festering sore of Child Support Secrecy to the light and air of the internet.

Yet another report to push front and centre under the noses of by now squealing feminists.
This one researching 32 countries which shows that women initiate violence too.
But check out the heading.
This one says women initiate violence more often in dating.
