Fathers Appalled At Outburst Over Family Court

The North Shore Men's Centre is appalled at the angry outburst by Paul Partridge of the National Network of Stopping Violence Services.

His gratuitous and slanderous remarks about men in the Father's movement, if made in a Family Court context, would be described as a "A Torrent of Abuse" and he would be looking at 6 months of Anger Management classes as a result, and restricted to seeing his children at supervised access centres.

We too welcome a review of the Family Court. Open hearings of the Family Court are the first requirement A presumption of equal shared parenting is the next- as in more civilized countries Repeal of all sexist laws and practices is demanded.

We look forward to the day when men are not prejudged out of prejudice, as Paul Partridge has just demonstrated.

We look forward to the day that families are free of the tyranny of the multi- million dollar father-removal industry, We look forward to the day that children are safe from having loving parents ripped away from them for no reason.

Only then will our children be free of the abuse perpetrated by Paul Partridge and those like him, for their own profit and political advantage.

John Brett Press Spokeman North Shore Men's Centre.

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
