On trial for the truth

Sun 15th January 2012:

“Most of you have probably read tons of articles about Western society’s war on fathers and families. How fathers are forcefully separated from their children against their will, falsely accused of despicable crimes, shamed, and discriminated against by the family courts. Well, Sweden is of course no exception to that rule; quite the contrary. Neither […]

Debunking Handbook from Queensland

Wed 11th January 2012:

A very practical presentation, about how to achieve Debunking in the real world, is available from John Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky. They are very careful to warn about the way the debunking is presented and show how jumping straight into the core misinformation can easily reinforce the very “untruths” that you are seeking to expose! […]

Emily Jane Toner, Crown Prosecutor and Thief

Wed 14th December 2011:

I have made a new post about this because it’s the heading that will come up in internet search engines.

Crown Prosecutor Tries to Avoid Conviction for Theft

Tue 13th December 2011:

The New Zealand Herald has continued its habit of White Knight chivalry by refusing to name the female Crown Prosecutor who was caught deliberately stealing almost $200 worth of groceries by putting them in her own bag, covering them up, then paying for just $11 worth of items that she placed in the supermarket basket.

Mum was found breastfeeding her baby while high on P

Sat 3rd December 2011:

I don’t know why anyone would be shocked by this. We spend over $1.7 billion dollars on the DPB which we know leads to these outcomes. Why all of a sudden pretend to be shocked?

Impact of abortion on men

Fri 25th November 2011:

This topic is not discussed sufficiently. Although men are sometimes derided, for getting women into the situation where an abortion may be “needed”, men may experience strong feelings of loss and hurt. If these are not understood, they may come back as psychological problems…. This difficult topic is well covered, in my opinion, on Life […]

The Ministry of Men’s Affairs

Tue 22nd November 2011:

Kerry Bevin with Craig Jackson set up a pretend ‘Ministry of Men’s Affairs’ in the grounds of parliament about two years ago to highlight male suicide rates. Kerry, Craig and I have now decided to form a group under the banner ‘Ministry of Men’s Affairs’ to distribute press releases etc. We think the title will […]

A Personal Experience of Police Sexism

Sun 6th November 2011:

I attended a protest on Friday in Auckland outside the Family Court, in the hope that it would encourage people to make submissions for the current government review of the Family Court. This review is a very rare opportunity to encourage change. When I arrived at the protest I met another protester there for the […]

The Pussy Pass: An offensive delusion or an accurate term?

Tue 25th October 2011:

Feminism originally claimed to seek equality but it has long been clear that equality is of little real interest to feminists. We seldom hear a single feminist voice acknowledging inequality when it favours women, or even acknowledging the many ways in which men are exploited and discriminated against. It often seems as though feminists see […]

Children gone?

Sun 23rd October 2011:

Need some advice. I live in Aus, children with their mum in NZ. Mother has shifted and refuses to give me any contact details for my children. Children have been told not to give me any information. Mother’s motive is that I am abusive and she wants to protect herself and the kids. What can […]

Ideas for Review of familycaught

Thu 20th October 2011:

Review of familycaught – Ideas for Submissions Although Simon Power’s Review of familycaught was triggered by the need to cut excessive wastage in Government spending, it also opens up the topics of the cost effectiveness and quality of service by familycaught. Many of the issues in familycaught are subtle and based on values that we […]

Gender Inequality in Work Roles

Fri 30th September 2011:

Seldom a day passes without examples of ‘equality’, feminist style. In fact, it’s GENDER INEQUALITY but feminist voices remain silent about it or actively support it, suggesting that equality was never really their goal. For example, look at inequality in men’s sacrifice in their their work roles and more generally in their roles as providers […]

I seek a referal to a good lawyer?

Wed 14th September 2011:

Referal is needed for a good lawyer that gets the job done quickly without the usual lengthy drawnout crap and expense. The job: 1. I live in Australia and am seeking contact orders to have my children in Australia during the holidays. 2. I seek to overturn the CAPS order on their passports.

Feminist Bias in New Zealand Media

Sun 11th September 2011:

Western populations may well be starting to realize that they have been manipulated and misled by feminist lies, rubbish research, distorted accounts of history and often unjustified demands to maintain endless victim status. However, a review of news articles any week of the year shows that NZ is still heavily captured by feminist propaganda and […]

Feminist News in New Zealand

Wed 7th September 2011:

Let’s start with a look at Fran O’Sullivan’s muddled contribution to the Strauss-Kahn affair. What appeared to be her main argument was a valid one but came out only in her closing paragraphs: Strauss-Kahn, one of the most influential people in world finances, had been calling to replace the US dollar as the world currency […]

Peter Dunne, Revenue Minister in a National Government has proposed changes to the Child Support Act. These changes have been the subject of much comment on MENZ. To assist making submissions the Select Committee that reviews this bill, over the next couple of weeks I will post an analysis of the changes and the reason […]

An argument against victim feminism in the history of NZ democracy

Feminism is a vague term and can at times be driven by a heinous concept called, Victim Feminism. This concept claims that any misfortune, lack of opportunity or discrimination of the “female” is the fault of the “male” of the species. One of the many examples I will use to support this claim is the […]

Dunne what?

Sun 21st August 2011:

Child support payments are to be deducted directly from parent’s pay-packets, under new rules announced by the Government today. Revenue Minister Peter Dunne this morning announced changes to child support arrangements, including how payments are calculated, having payments taken directly from parents pay-packets, and easing up on the penalties for those that default on payments.

Here’s a short article about it (NJ.com, 7/23/11). The Garden State does this twice a year. Sheriff’s deputies fan out across the state arresting the major child support debtors. Slapped in […]

UK Govt warns fathers about child abduction risk

Tue 26th July 2011:

UK Government warns fathers about child abduction risk The UK Government is honestly warning UK fathers to watch out for any warning signs that the mother of their children might abduct them.

Tue 28th June 2011:

Mum tells IRD that children are in her care to avoid Child support payments. Father is on DPB after loosing business during recession. Children are actually in shared care. IRD takes word of mum and deducts child support from dad’s DPB. Mum tells IRD that dad is a fraud and works under the table. IRD […]

Institutionalised Sexism

Fri 24th June 2011:

Employers association Chief Alasdair Thompson is obviously not very savvy in media matters, however I have been amused how the media have sensationalised the matter yet seldom comment on the continual matter of institutionalised sexism within the family court and its interpretation of family law. Few media ever report, or have probably never sat in […]
