This is for people who cannot understand why they are getting poorer. They think they voted for the social justice government of New Zealand. That’s those who rob from the rich and steel from the poor. Now read that again — I didn’t say rob from the rich and give to the poor. The NZ […]

There has been much noise around the introduction of Kiwi Saver and little information. Like Bevan I have for some time been concerned about how Kiwi Saver will be treated by IRD if you are a “liable” parent. I emailed Peter Dunne, Minister Responsible for Child Support and United Future leader, with some questions that […]

The Press June 23 2007 Extract : “Yet Briggs remarks that the “vitriol” of the attack surprised her. She says some of the letter writers continue to make “outrageous claims” on men’s advocacy websites, and that Ross Francis emailed her university bosses accusing her of making false claims about her research and credentials. She portrays […]

One of the major barriers to achieving presumptive shared care is a fair and reasonable child support system to support the presumption. There is no doubt that the current Child Support Act 1991 was designed at a time when shared parenting was a “rarity” and the assumption was one custodial parent and one liable parent […]

From Stuff….(link) I don’t believe I have just read this; please just let NZ drop off the bottom of the planet — save us the embarrassment. “In recent time we had a recruit (NZ Police Recruit) being taught by a consultant, literally, how to write letters of the alphabet by drawing within bubble letters in […]

During a domestic argument, you head-butt your partner in the face; breaking their nose and spraying the children with blood. You would expect the police follow their mandatory arrest policy, lock you up overnight, take out a domestic protection order, and charge you with assault. You might be seen to jail, or depending where you […]

Hi there, I have just recieved my second child support bill? in the mail. It is $450 per month for a child that I have never seen or been able to see. The boy in question was born 3 years ago yet the child support demands only emerged last month through the IRD. Imagine the […]

Straight talk… (all quoted) The 20th Century may well be viewed by historians as the ‘Women’s Hour’, the century that saw women progressively get their proverbial feet on the rungs on the ladder of opportunity. The notion was that women were human beings too, of equal value to men, and not mere chattels, and I […]

Did you know about this??? It doesn’t seem to be much of a big deal. And men only get a week while women are getting a month just for breast cancer. So what is happening in New Zealand for this extremely important event considering the statistics that men are in dire strait needs for health? […]

Mr Cullen is not supporting his baby, and will revenue minister Peter Dunne be collecting child support from this delinquent deadbeat who is having a multi million dollar overseas fling at the expense of New Zealand Child Support Payers. Many Fathers simply have no choice, their child support is deducted from their pay at source […]

Look what Mr Cullen, with full knowledge and agreement of Peter Dunne, Minister responsible for Child Support and United Future Leader, is trying to slip through. This is laying the groundwork to stopping by tax-police at the boarder. Not for the commission of any crime but because they are a member of a group of […]

Last Sunday, I attended a church service. I guess I just felt like it. It was huge. Not just the building but the amount of people that attended. When I was a young Catholic, churches were anti each other as if which ever church you belonged to was right and all the rest were wrong. […]

Mainstream media leans to the left, while the alternative media, such as talk radio leans to the right. Whether it […]
