Given the significant changes in behaviour that occurred in familycaught$, both before the Bristol murders and suicide and after, it is important that this report receives close scrutiny.

As White Ribbon invest their energy and our money in a bigoted social campaign against ‘male domestic violence’ the news this week has served up a chilling slice of reality, about life in New Zealand. On Sunday, as fate would have it, the alleged attempted murder of a Hamilton man was captured by an in-store […]

From the office of Hon Turiana Turia, Associate Minister for Social Development. I think though I’m not certain that several of those appointed were instrumental in trying to wreck the Glenn project, perhaps dredging up the unsupported historical allegation against Owen Glenn.

Although NZ familycaught$ judges seem unaware that men can relate to and care for children and can successfully take care of children, newspaper records regularly show a more realistic picture. Sometimes, I wonder if judges don’t read newspapers or listen to stories about families in NZ?

When a man did it we got the Bristol Clauses with feminist claims that all men are potential child murderers no matter how they might appear, and we saw tens of thousands of men treated […]
