http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/7994731/Family-violence-at-horrendous-levels Yay! Domestic Violence is New Zealand’s growth industry! Women and children have a 25% chance of being injured, killed, assaulted or abducted in DV incidents in New Zealand! And that makes no mention whatsoever of victims who do not suffer one of these golden four physical violances – those that have no injuries etc. […]

Safety of Children
Robert Whiston has republished a comparison of child safety in married families and other types of families. There is quite a lot of public debate, where advocates present partial and misleading statistics. In my opinion, Robert has quoted the most credible international sources available. Cheers, MurrayBacon.
Jobs for the Girls
Addressing a meeting of MPs and staff in Parliament last week on child poverty, Professor Jonathan Boston noticed that he was the only man in the room. Boston is co-chairman of the Children’s Commissioner’s advisory group on solutions to child poverty. The NZHerald article Men called to step up for kids, accuses men of “leaving […]

Benefit Fraud
Masculine Empire by Peter Adams – Book Launch
Judging by the list of organisations supporting this book, I doubt that it is intended as an instruction manual, so don’t get too excited. If keeping women in line was as easy as the White Ribbon hate campaign insists, I’m sure our society would be very different from the way it is! I’ll read and […]
ENCYCLOPEDIA on Early Childhood Development
There is an internet encyclopaedia which offers well written information about early childhood development: ENCYCLOPEDIA on Early Childhood Development http://www.child-encyclopedia.com/en-ca/home.html Parents aiming for shared parenting will usually benefit from a better understanding of child development. I would suggest that all parents would benefit from a better understanding of this topic. I have a USA Parent […]
Accountability that was never really intended to work !
Examples of Working Accountability NZ Parliamentarians are required to register the nature of their assets. The public may use this to investigate possible conflicts of interest. This register is also available to profit media, although they don’t make much use of it, same say it is boring! UK Register of Members Interests UK Register USA […]
Ireland to adopt “the best interest of the child” Dogma
Interesting article from Ireland. At issue is a referendum that would redefine the role of government in helping children the government determines may be in need of assistance. While it sounds to some like a praiseworthy goal, the analysts have doubts. “The threshold of intervention “¦ reveals this new approach: “when the safety or welfare’ […]
On the run in OZ? Dunne’s hit squad is coming for you!
Hit squad targets parents on run in Oz That’s right. Track you down; seize your assets, seize your partner’s assets. Seize your house (who needs a place for the kids to sleep when they come to stay?). House arrest in the country of your choice. You can’t escape me! You can’t outrun me! I’m Peter […]
Should I hug my daughter in public?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7903165/Loving-dads-year-of-torment This is just sick. Wtf has our society come to? This is anti-male bias at it’s best – or worst, which ever way you look at it. Welcome top New Zealand 2012. I was out in public last week. With my daughter. She was clinging to me as little miss’s are prone to do. […]
VAWA will change after this in the USA. Yeah Right

Gender Obfuscation in Workplace Deaths
FYI, I sent the following to Francios Barton, Ministry of Innovation, Business and Employment concerning a news article today: I sent the following to journalist Natalie Akoorie regarding her NZ Herald article on a construction work safety campaign. The article suggests that the use of the word ‘people’ in referring to workplace deaths and injuries […]

Police Admit False Claims about Rugby Domestic Violence
The Ministry of Men’s Affairs recently challenged the NZ police for making a public claim that domestic violence call outs had increased during an All Blacks match. The police have finally responded acknowledging that they had not been able to find any significant link between family violence and rugby matches.
Boshier’s Last Salvo
Principal Family Court Judge Boshier has made what is described as his last speech in the role. Guess where? Yep, at the Women’s Refuge annual conference. Radio NZ has today been pushing his call in that speech to make domestic violence a separate criminal offence. Various feminist sympathizers have agreed but the only real advantage […]
