The next stage of the conflict with the feminist lead legal & government oligarchy has started in New Zealand.

In an effort to suppress men’s rights, the government has chosen to enforce “with extreme prejudice” its law prohibiting any criticism of court decisions. This has lead to even the UN making moves to not endorse at least one court case in New Zealand. This is the same, Prime Minister Helen, lead government that has not allowed a qualified lawyer applicant from receiving his license, simply because he is a men’s rights activist.

This case centers on a separated wife who went to a Swedish news outlet and violated this already biased New Zealand feminist law by telling her side only. This story has gone over the airwaves in feminist circles as proof of yet another male abuse case (simply based on the word of the women only) and has been reportedly distorted as well as calling into question the father’s good character.

In response, a men’s rights news outlet in New Zealand (MENZ) took issue with this breaking of the law, and published a balance answer to the case including some of the father’s positions.

For this, the government has acted in the agenda driven biased way, that we have all come to know, yet this is a further step in political overreach (that any social civil rights activist should be shaking their heads over) and sent the following warning below to this men’s site. Please note how the "defending the child" rhetoric is used (the modern form of wrapping oneself in the flag), instead of defending the governments alleged right to pick and choose when information is allowed to come out, if at all, and by whom:


Dear John Potter

Article on menz.org.nz in breach of the Care of Children Act 2004.

I write to alert you of the contents of an article and comments posted on your website menz.org.nz.

The article, titled “Dear xxx and xxx”, has been posted by Bevan Berg and can be found at http://www.menz.org.nz/2006/dear-xxx-and-xxx. The article is followed by a comment posted by Mike Paterson on 11 May 2006. The article and comment relate to an unsuccessful application for interim custody.

We consider that information contained in the article and comment is likely to lead to the identification of the children who were at the centre of the proceedings and the parties to the proceedings.

This is in breach of section 139 of the Care of Children Act 2004, which prohibits the publication of any name or particulars likely to lead to the identification of a child who is the subject of proceedings under the Act or parties to the proceedings. A person who publishes details likely to lead to such identification is liable on summary conviction to:

· in the case of an individual, either imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months, or a fine not exceeding $2,000; or
· in the case of a body corporate, a fine not exceeding $10,000.

Please note that section 139 of the Care of Children Act does allow persons to publish reports of proceedings as long as the report does not include identifying details. The prohibition on publishing identifying details is to protect the privacy of children involved in proceedings.

We request that the article and comment be removed from your website immediately. To avoid any further action being taken, please acknowledge receipt of this email and confirm by 11 July 2006 that you have actioned our request.

Yours sincerely

The next stage is now underway in attempting to shut down men’s sites, through this indirect agenda driven and selectively enforced laws to only be enforced against men’s sites. This must be answered. I call on all men & women who believe in justice to let the socialist lead government of New Zealand know what you think of such Stalinist tactics and to email Ivan Kwok, representing the arrow tip of this next unjust move against the men’s movement. His address is as follows:

As at 25March05
