We have talked about this, and we need to keep talking about it. If a Ministry were to exist, what information could we supply this Ministry for our Men. There has been some negativity for the idea,, but what would the positives actually be.

I have a problem with the unqualified promotion of Warren Farrell. I read a couple of his books around the turn of the century when he came to New Zealand. First let’s have a look at his history; lives in the US, got married, didn’t have any children. Went through a separation. Did a bit […]

By the time something reaches the bottom, let’ just say it is not good. We have a problem Huston, we need to work at the top. I doubt if every Man Group along the stretch of our country was visited that you would find much in the way of a hearty laugh or kumbaeya..no, and […]

Society of course needs Order, Society of course needs Law, but regardless of whether you are Rich, or you are Poor. Laws were Set, Courts to see that they are Met, but Courts without justice for all, will surely be in blatant disregard, of our Law. What of

I wrote a previous post on The Death of Feminism. Perhaps that is not so visible because we still have some aspiring female politicians who wouldn’t deny themselves the opportunity they worked for. A bunch of state workers in their last ten years before retirement. A few political hopeful who see a career of indulgence […]

The goal has existed since some time last century. I first encountered the idea when I met Kerry Bevin, who has been and still is I imagine, passionate about the idea. It had never found any political support before the current Conservative’s recent proposal, as far as I am aware apart from the Republican Party […]

It’s that ‘deadbeat dad’ label surfacing again that got my attention – I thought we’d got over the media stigma and use of this term to describe the one bad parent. The term has risen again in response to the Government’s shift on DPB mother’s not naming the father. Now, I’m confused. I thought

As reported by Sam Sherwood this morning: A father is taking Customs and Police to court after his wife abducted their 9-year-old son and took him overseas despite a court order banning her from doing so. The father, whose name is suppressed, obtained an order in February under the Care of Children Act prohibiting his […]

“Vote for us and you’ll get the money,” is what Jacinda said. But of course, as she was talking to the girls, it comes as no surprise to see Robinson buying votes with a glossy front cover as pictured. The year of delivery? Let’s see how this works out for the boys. Look forward to […]

Readers may remember Ben Easton for a variety of reasons (such as the shadow of his former being emerging from prison after a hunger strike) but perhaps not so much where he came to grief in Wellington as The Political Busker. The link takes us back to 2006, where Ben made Central Wellington his own […]

It is difficult to get to know or getting to like a stranger who initially you thought you had something in common with. This site is all inviting, but can be very harsh on character, it is easy to find yourself on the outer, but I have seen forgiveness and lightheartedness amongst the anger, frustration […]

Hi ALL…there is an online PETITION [on the NZ Parliament website and currently open until 31/12/2019] asking the government to fund a MINISTRY FOR MEN as a means to better address ‘Mens Issues’ and the many negative outcomes affecting MEN, their families and society as a whole. There has been a women’s ministry since 1984 […]

Hi All I would like recommendations for a good cost effective lawyer for Family Court in Palmerston North as current lawyer not delivering except to keep charging large bills Thx

Times, they are a changing. It’s nothing knew. The vandal of peace, progress, harmony and the habitual human. The symptom is written in history, and back further more than likely in the lost echoes of older stories. The twentieth year of the new century … The first century of the new millennium, the century of […]

New Zealand is a small place and most of us know somebody who knows someone else who knows one of your relatives. For us here we are more likely to know many people who got screwed over by the Family Court, or the ex and her lawyer and your lawyer deciding what was best for […]

This petition is not against her speaking! She can speak whatever she wants but inciting violence is NOT ok and is not a joke. Also, feel free to email the minister of immigration Iain Galloway at this email [email protected] supporting the online petition against Clementine Ford Entry to New Zealand. Petition link

We are increasingly seeing the banner of ANZAC under attack. A subject that’s been raised here several times over recent years, particularly with the 100 year commemorative events being held during 2014 – 2018. It wasn’t our war. For hundreds of years following the collapse of Rome, wars raged in Europe. Backed by religion, land […]

I have often heard New Zealanders described as Humble, Friendly, not too Outspoken, aparantly this country suffers the ‘tall poppy’ syndrome…I dare say the psych of us is changing, evolving. We tend not to laud one another,,until some one dies, then we can be all too all over them. Today on the radio news, the […]

It is an obsession. What else can you call it? We’re in the grips of obsession. Here’s an extract from the previous post Crusade For Free Speech Cowie, who wrote a fictionalised account about his bitter custody dispute with his former wife, says he received no reply to his submission, despite indicating he wanted to […]

There are many battle fronts when it comes to free speech and the lenses through which it is viewed can be as blinding as they are illuminating. (And I’m sick of losing the updates so I will publish this post then finish it.) In the view of this website it is often seen in the […]

We have removed our obituary for Craig due to gross disrespect from a contributor here. Disgusting and upsetting.
