There never seems any end in sight concerning misandry in our media and in our world as reported by media. I only have time occasionally to expose a few current examples as in this post, but the fact is that rarely a day goes by without ongoing media evidence of sexism against men. It would […]

This has been a dark week for men in New Zealand with many influential people displaying ignorant misandry. Their comments show that they do not deserve to be in positions of influence. The roller coaster was started with the government’s announced changes to our welfare system.

I read this at my father’s funeral today: When I went to Middlemore last Sunday to identify dad’s body, the young cop asked me: “How long have you known the deceased?” Well, it’s been 55 yrs. Now I know you’re not supposed to speak ill of dead but some things have to be said.

Developments in behavioural research in the last 40 years should have long ago swept away the old ignorant prejudices, that substitute for valuable decision making in familycaught$. The familycaught$ is largely backward looking, in attempting to decide cases by fitting them to preceding cases, rather than deciding cases according to the facts of the case […]

I have recently been made unemployed and have since found out that I owe 12,000$ in Child support from the periods ending 2004 & 2005, I thought this was strange because I become bankrupt in 2004. After some investigation into this I found it was estimated on my 2003 income @ the maximum allowed – […]

Paul Jenkins is a name we should not forget. It confirms what we all know, child tax enforcement is draconian, brutal and drives dads to kill themselves. Ask yourself the question: What does the IRD do? IRD is the revenue collection department, the tax woman. Its reason for existence is to collect money from citizens. […]

Deepest sympathy John, please pass my condolences to all Centrepoint commune leader Bert Potter dies

A campaign ‘Kill the Family Court’ is an initiative of the Ministry of Men’s Affairs. Protests are planned outside successive Family Courts on Fridays during June and July between 11am and 2pm. The Ministry of Men’s Affairs believes that the Family Court under its empowering legislation kills numerous men, women and children by ruining family […]

Or should that read Another NZer ….. There’s outrage across the Tasman after debt laden New Zealander Paul Jenkins felt so helpless, he killed himself. The 39-year-old died in Geelong after receiving a $53,000 bill from Australian Child Support Services. The money was to support his ex-partner and teenage daughter, who are still in Wellington. […]

Chen Guangcheng the Chinese blind dissident objects to the China One Child Policy and Forced Abortions. Dear Chen, I am led to believe that a Chinese family can have more children if they choose but pay more tax as a deterrent. Your country has long been aware that this planet has limited resources and can […]

FYI, emails I wrote in response to an article in this weekend’s Herald. I might add that the most common form of mumtrepeneurship continues to involve using children to have one’s lifestyle funded. Dear Associate Professor Mueller In a NZ Herald article (There’s no place like Mum’s biz, by Susan Edmunds, dated 22/04/12) you are […]

Standard Forms help get things moving and also help to cover all important issues. NZ Family Court offers a very brief and simple document, perhaps too simple to be of much use, but it has nice pictures?

This thread spun out of a question put onto the Court Value and Quality thread, by Down Under. It was off topic, but nonetheless seemed a very hot topic!

Well folks, who can guess what happened in the case of Emily Toner, the crown prosecutor who nipped out from Court to visit the supermarket where she deliberately concealed and stole $199 worth of groceries, and on this occasion was caught? Yep, you guessed it, DISCHARGE WITHOUT CONVICTION! It’s reassuring to know that our legal […]

FYI, my letter to Radio NZ: Dear Radio NZ Regarding your story yesterday (Wednesday 28 March) on the ‘study’ about Pets as Pawns in domestic violence, I considered nominating Radio NZ for the Skeptics ‘Bent Spoon’ award for gullible, uncritical acceptance and reporting of dubious claims.

Dr. Jayne Major’s article gives many useful ideas. The comments it makes about caught$ are probably somewhat unrealistic to hope for in NZ, as many “judges” in NZ, are too slow to deliver much useful action…..

From the Hearld Online About three years ago the Government began a review of child support legislation, with all sides of the debate agreeing that the law is unfair, inflexible and causing many families serious harm. Last year a bill emerged, but there seems little enthusiasm to make progress and it is in 49th place […]

John Potter made the following comment: http://menz.org.nz/2012/triple-p-parenting-or-pet/comment-page-1/#comment-730030 It seems to me that the dynamics of parenting as a couple are quite different to how it is if you are solo. It’s not clear to me how well PPP addresses this issue. John has made the distinction between solo and separated. Another very important comparison, is […]

The 15-year-old girl told police she had been forced into a car and raped while walking home from school on Durham St, Nawton on February 27. Detective sergeant Robbie Hermann of the Waikato CIB said investigators re-interviewed the […]

Parenting training is often seen as an insult. This is unfortunate, as parenting skills are vitally important to the welfare of our children. Good parenting skills would also help negotiating skills, which alas may also be useful in making the best from being forced to separate. Parenting skills help with negotiating, which can also help […]
