If the Government spent any time at all researching this issue and asking for an opinion poll I think they would find that most of NZ didn't want this bill passed. Lack of information can work both ways - how else would we have achieved MMP? How many NZers actually knew what they were voting for. Now the Nat's are going to claim the throne but I know they have a lot to answer for also.

Greens and Labour will be seen as primarily responsible for passing Bradford's law change and they will be "caned" for it at the election. Bradford has finally recognized this home truth and now makes this pathetic attempt at damage control by calling black white and basically lying. That's nothing new of course; her entire campaign and that of her supporters was almost completely made up of lies. However, National is just as culpable because they voted as a group for the same law change. Sadly, most NZers continue to oscillate between the two deadbeat parties rather than getting in behind smaller but better alternatives. Yes, right on the button I think Perseus.

Maybe someone will realise one day of the mistakes that they have made against men, and the effect on men of these family laws make this the main reason for voting for a political party and outweigh all others.
