But I think it is misleading to place all the blame on Cindy Kiro, who will have got the job because she is the correct gender, race and social status rather than because she is an inspiring leader. The real gatekeepers in this type of organisation tend to be somewhat less visible, in positions where they can exercise their power & control below the public radar. In this case I would say much of the ideological direction is set by the Commission's Principal Advisor who operates under the pseudonym "Dr Emma Davies", partner of long time MENZ critic <a href="http://menz.org.nz/cosa/dr-john-read-psychologist/" rel="nofollow">psychologist Dr John Reid</a>.
