Hi all, I have been out of the Family court system since end of 2010, after finally getting to a defended hearing, getting a decent outcome, just for it to start falling apart 3 months later, followed by total destruction about 8 months later… And after the 3 years in the court getting me to […]

Inside Arohata Women’s Prison I saw this on stuff.co.nz as a feature story with a picture up and the first thing that came to mind was what does Arohata mean in Maori.

Here is the proof that women have always had their fair share of power. It displays how wise women protect their investment. Nothing wrong with that!!!

Historically, the country has had the opposite problem. Kiwi men of the 1800s and early 1900s often struggled to find a partner. But since the 1980s there have been more women than men and the imbalance is now as bad as it’s ever been. Well there’s a real surprise.
