Here is a news article concerning the most recent protest at Rotorua, held in the median strip of one of Rotorua’s main streets and attracting a lot of attention. Sadly, the […]

protest

given the current climate of anger at new zealand family court and given its a know fact that their are lawyers who are using the delays to the advantage of their clients then is it not the right time for fathers to unite and take to the streets?

Superbowl Myth Extended to All Blacks

FYI, I attach my letter to Sgt Mark Oliver, NZ Police, concerning his statements in the NZ Herald today about domestic violence being associated with All Blacks matches.

Would a mens only exhibition go unchallenged?

Sat 25th August 2012:

Men are moved by Air New Zealand when seated next to children travelling alone and now Dowse director Cam McCracken is banning men from an exhibition an Art gallery. Why? Because they are men.

Feminists add to the etymology of ‘Justice’

The following article illustrates how the holders of fanatical ideology are incapable of seeing it mirrored in another. They are quick to spot the evils of relativism only when it threatens their own ideology. One Law for All, is a UK organisation formed to combat the call for Sharia law to be practised in tandem […]

And the beat goes on…….

Great to see NZ Herald columnist Kerre Woodham has had a go at airlines continuing with the sexist policy of removing males from seats next to where unaccompanied children are seated.

Ever wondered why the Men’s Movement over the last quarter of a century has failed to bring about real change and gain equal rights within family law?

Family Court Changes, Unhappy lawyers

Thu 2nd August 2012:

Warring parents will be encouraged to sort out custody disputes and other matters without lawyers, under a shake-up of the Family Court.

Families must go through this system to sort out private parenting matters, such as […]
