This is Paul, our rugged volunteer fire fighter, from the heartland, who might otherwise have been on one of those fire fighters’ calenders.
But, he’s been conned in to donning a donated dress to raise funds for Women’s Refuge.
I don’t want to embarrass Paul, he’s a nice guy, been through the mill, but mate, how did you end up here, and did you think we wouldn’t find out?

NZ teacher Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

To be honest he is rather attractive for Women’s Refuge. They have upped thier game with this one.
The kick in the head while your down boots are too Lesbian for me.
Pass.

If he’d turned up with a baby in a pram that might have amused a few extra dollars out of the corporate bitches in Wellington but Women’s Refuge would have gone off the idea real quick.

Nice to see a firmly grounded man deeply in touch with his inner feminist side.

He was a bit like Tom Hanks.
I’ve said all I have to say about this.
