Women and children have a 25% chance of being injured, killed, assaulted or abducted in DV incidents in New Zealand!

Safety of Children
Robert Whiston has republished a comparison of child safety in married families and other types of families. There is quite a lot of public debate, where advocates present partial and misleading statistics. In my opinion, Robert has quoted the most credible international sources available. Cheers, MurrayBacon.

ENCYCLOPEDIA on Early Childhood Development
There is an internet encyclopaedia which offers well written information about early childhood development: ENCYCLOPEDIA on Early Childhood Development http://www.child-encyclopedia.com/en-ca/home.html Parents aiming for shared parenting will usually benefit from a better understanding of child development. I would suggest that all parents would benefit from a better understanding of this topic. I have a USA Parent […]
Accountability that was never really intended to work !
Examples of Working Accountability NZ Parliamentarians are required to register the nature of their assets. The public may use this to investigate possible conflicts of interest.

Ireland to adopt “the best interest of the child” Dogma
Interesting article from Ireland. At issue is a referendum that would redefine the role of government in helping children the government determines may be in need of assistance. While it sounds to some like a praiseworthy goal, the analysts have doubts. “The threshold of intervention “¦ reveals this new approach: “when the safety or welfare’ […]
On the run in OZ? Dunne’s hit squad is coming for you!
Hit squad targets parents on run in Oz That’s right. Track you down; seize your assets, seize your partner’s assets. Seize your house (who needs a place for the kids to sleep when they come to stay?). House arrest in the country of your choice. You can’t escape me! You can’t outrun me! I’m Peter […]
Should I hug my daughter in public?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7903165/Loving-dads-year-of-torment This is just sick. Wtf has our society come to? This is anti-male bias at it’s best – or worst, which ever way you look at it. Welcome top New Zealand 2012. I was out in public last week. With my daughter. She was clinging to me as little miss’s are prone to do. […]
Gender Obfuscation in Workplace Deaths
FYI, I sent the following to Francios Barton, Ministry of Innovation, Business and Employment concerning a news article today: I sent the following to journalist Natalie Akoorie regarding her NZ Herald article on a construction work safety campaign. The article suggests that the use of the word ‘people’ in referring to workplace deaths and injuries […]

Police Admit False Claims about Rugby Domestic Violence
The Ministry of Men’s Affairs recently challenged the NZ police for making a public claim that domestic violence call outs had increased during an All Blacks match.

Boshier’s Last Salvo
Principal Family Court Judge Boshier has made what is described as his last speech in the role. Guess where? Yep, at the Women’s Refuge annual conference. Radio NZ has today been pushing his call in that speech to make domestic violence a separate criminal offence. Various feminist sympathizers have agreed but the only real advantage […]
Ministry of Men’s Affairs Officially Recognized
Well, sort of. The Prime Minister’s office replied to a letter from MoMA, addressing it to Kerry Bevin and myself at the Ministry of Men’s Affairs. No response was included regarding our request for $5 million (somewhat less than is spent every year on the Ministry of Women’s Affairs), but the welfare of men was […]

Protecting Children Through Separation
Making the Marriage Licence Worth Something? While the marriage licence is being applied for, we could be reporting to parents on their parenting skills and resources.

The terror of the politically correct – Karen Woodall
While many men are sitting delicately, on their oversized derrieres, it is women who are getting out and actively doing something to protect children’s rights to have a relationship with their fathers….

The place of the father & child support: the bible’s perspective
(Disclaimer: I’m writing this article since our Minister is a Christian, with a hope that his legislation of child support will be influenced by it. I have no intention to convince any of you to become a Christian – I’m not a Christian myself! I just have knowledge of the bible, have researched the scriptures […]
