I have just had my “assessment” for the next year arrive in the mail yesterday. What I am bewildered about is that the IRD gives me a “living allowance” of $288.00 a week? The average rent for a 3 bedroom house in Auckland is $550.00 a week on it’s own let alone food, power, water, […]

I haven’t followed this case in any detail so I am not suggesting that it is necessarily a good example but if anyone has been following it, they may like to comment on that aspect. What I am suggesting is that since the Kahui case, which essentially remains unresolved, we have seen an increase in […]

So what do the guys think?

Self Representation and McKenzie Friend Course Notes These notes were recorded from the Seminar arranged and funded by Jim Bagnall, at Remuera Bowling Club. Although these notes are now quite old, legislation has been meddled with and changed, but some things just seem to stay the same?

The young couple, from Dunedin, have told the Sunday Star-Times of their harrowing two-year battle to regain custody of the girl, who was taken by Child, Youth and Family at just 14 weeks because the agency wrongly suspected she’d been abused. Stuff Report The parents had to sell their house in Dunedin and move to […]

(Was missing now found) I am not posting this simply out of concern for James – I’m a little staggered at the abysmal response. Firstly the Police media report is a little blase about a missing male, and I would question whether the later Stuff report was generated by a journalist or by his family […]

Hi By accepting an interim order, would you be effectively delaying any action that the court would take on the matter? Appreciate any thoughts on interim orders. Cheers, B.

Story here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2568580/Woman-schoolteacher-love-schoolboy-led-bed-narrowly-dodges-jail-sentence.html What would of happened if this were a male teacher? Looking forward to a Judge applying the same sentance to the next male teacher.

Obviously no one could possibly condone the tragic event of Ed Livingstone and his children. In the NZ Herald’s publications highlighting the shortcomings of this father over the past 2 days, and also in all the other reporting since this dreadful event took place I have been unable to find a reason for the protection […]

Unbelievable: It has just been revealed by the Guardian newspaper that the male suicide rate is 3 1/2 times that of the female suicide rate in England. Of course I am not suggesting that the rate of male suicide is unbelievable, it is a headline that contained not only the word Male or the word […]

I am certain that many of you on this site have moved on, having met another woman and have embarked on the journey of step parenting. Your new woman shares responsibility with her ex partner to raise her children, but where in the equation do you as a step parent fit in? We have read […]

The confused male In the world of show cases and clebrities there are as many confused males as there are females. If you hold this guy up against some ball swinging singer, he is no more and no less confused about what his role is in society, is meant to be, or should be. I […]

We Understand How Colin Craig Feels. We don’t necessarily support his politics. We don’t know whether he gives a damn about the harm done to men, though he probably recognizes the harm to families that has resulted from the denigration of men. However, those who speak up about men’s issues know what it’s like to […]

This is how you do it. It’s quite simple really, it just requires opening your eyes and ears. http://www.theguardian.com/law/2014/feb/17/mother-permissive-parenting-court-custody-battle

The injustice shown to men over the decades since the inception of the Family Court and the abuse done by that Court to children’s relationships with their fathers (and therefore to the children themselves) have been largely ignored by our media. Exposure of the Court’s sexism against men relied mainly on individual men’s letters to […]

Story here. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/9724858/Blackmailer-rues-her-actions Angie Rose Wilson your actions have led to the death of this man. What ide really like to know is did you plan the consensual sexual relationship in order to make some cash from the outset or did you come up with a the plan afterwards? I am surprised you didn’t call […]

This case really hits home how little value is given to male victims of women’s violence, and indeed how little value is placed on men’s lives. It also highlights the sexist double standard in our justice system, in this case allowing a de facto partial defence of provocation in the case of a female murderer […]

Hi There, I have a review scheduled in mid February and am not sure what this process is for? what can i expect? what do i need to do to prepare? A LFC has been appointed but i dont know who? and as yet i have had no contact from them about what happens next? […]

The headline suggests the guy can return to work and live his live as a free man as nothing has happened. The producers, directors, ITV Grenada will allow Bill to carry on playing the part of Ken Barlow working down at the studio as he once did. – Like hell.

There has been discussion about commercial forces using sexualisation of girls for manipulation to increase sales of low intrinsic value products. Melinda Tankard Reist has given public presentations at Forum on the Family, her book Getting Real: Challenging the Sexualisation of Girls and a Sydney Morning Herald article Sex sells, but we’re selling out our […]

I suggest that any Government’s management of social issues can be evaluated on the continuum: Destructive, By Chance, Passive, or Proactive Management. In the UK, the Government partially funds a charity called Unite, which advocates for abducted children and parents left behind by abduction. This funding allows limited research to be carried out into the […]

BBC Article A study using the reaction of facial muscles indicates that humans have only four emotions that display themselves as happiness, sadness, irritation and fright. The previously accepted 6 emotions theory is being challenged. There is a significant factor here that will agravate feminists. Irritation would be a sliding scale where the same face […]

UK Guardian: Courts will not give up on girl abducted by mother, judge warns Judge issues warning two years after Humma Dar disappeared with daughter Aamina Khan after girl’s father was given custody.
