‘Courts need overhaul to cure ‘sickness of society’
Nothing short of a major overhaul of the court system is needed to address family violence – the “sickness of society”, Dame Cath Tizard said today.
The former Governor-General delivered a strongly-worded speech to release the $2 million inquiry called People’s Report, funded by Sir Owen Glenn, in Wellington today.
The report suggested potential changes to the present system, including shifting the burden of proof in domestic violence cases so alleged abusers are considered guilty until proven innocent..’
The real “sickness in society” is privileged elitist do-gooder asshole cronies of other elitists presuming to overturn centuries of custom and common law. Of course, by far the most victims of such a law change will be men, so that’s ok, eh? How about removing the presumption of victim status from women who claim to have been abused? Who claim to have been raped or their children abused by their own fathers? The evidence that very many such claims are false – especially where divorce and child custody is the background to such claims – is overwhelming.
Arrogant bastards such as Tizard think they know best what’s best for society, yet again and again their idiot knee-jerk emotional responses to complex problems only make things worse.
And they never admit the mistake and apologise afterwards, do they?
an afterthought…this garbage certainly beats admitting to and dealing with the fact that most domestic and child abuse is committed by Polynesians, doesn’t it?
It’s all become quite confusing really KG.
After 31 years of living in the country,New Zealand seems to be comprised of two distinct peoples.
The one group refer to themselves as “Our People,” just before the country has it’s pockets picked again for the umpteen time.
The other are referred to as “White M…..F..kers, in case their feeling of guilt should start to dissipate.
But lets not allow these differences to get in the way of trying to solve the problem, let’s all pretend that we are one big happy family and a one size fits all solution will appease both groups.
These enquiries are designed so as not to offend anyone, skirt around the problem and in a few days get confined to the rubbish bin.
It’s all just make believe.
I’d like to believe so, Rivoniaboy. But with the elections coming up I think it’s quite likely some clown will run with this.
“Helen Clark crony Tizard can go screw herself.”
I second that.
A loathsome bunch, aren’t they?
Actually, I thought she was screwing Helen Clark.
No, this is Judith’s mum.
Apple. Tree. No great distance.
New Zealand simply is reaping the results of a couple of decades of social engineering promoted aggressively by Clark, Tizzard et al.
No morals, no fathers, no work, no responsibilities, no restraint.
Exactly. All else is just noise.
And nobody doing anything to turn back the tide. In fact, the Klarkenfuhrer’s hand-picked successor is carrying on right where the Beast left off.
That report sounds like one of HBSC’s executive orders and considering the alignment of philosophies, it’s hardly surprising.
Yep. Harridans appoint harridans on the basis of emotional commitment, not ability.
Witness the loathsome Chief Justice Elias.
This is not rocket science; the sickness in our society is liberalism/progressivism and nothing more.
Guilty unless you can counter that: Stuff that! This premis is what gives the tax department its pernicious powers.
Just so. And how many people really care, Cad? Or know anything about these issues? They’re fed a diet of propaganda and don’t have the energy or nous to inform themselves.
Apathy and ignorance make these outrages possible.
Dang, I thought the old fartbag was dead.
Why bother with courts at all? The Vagina Mafia is perfectly capable of deciding if a man is guilty, without all that messy evidence and argument stuff.
After all, they do that every day.
“The Vagina Mafia”, my, that does bring back memories of the Clark administration, it’s flunkies and hangers-on.
And at the end of the day they wonder why no men are stepping up to the plate. Why work so hard to raise a family just to be thrown under a bus when convenient? Men have given up and gone fishing as there is no place for them in this feminist, man-bashing, metro-sexualising society…….and we wonder why 13 year olds stab and kill shopkeepers.
Oh, and my advice to the younger generations – “rent, don’t buy”!
I wish we’d rented and not bought, Mawm. (three times in my case. slow learner. The first two went to now-ex wives).
I suspect mawm was talking about wimmin rather than real estate, KG!
Yes indeed, Gantt. I was ignoring his sexist, patriarchal insensitive inappropriate remark.
*sniff*
Did it offend you?
Well KG, we can agree with the report on one thing…Family Court is a dog’s breakfast
It surely is, Michael. A scandal.
John Key will sanction this nonsense as he is indeed Clark’s successor.
But one day the lot of them will be gone, history, if there are any men left.
Why do men not do more to fight this crap?
Take back your rightful places.
Poss. because other men will lock them up [c/- a woman “judge”] and if they’re paying a mortgage they can kiss all those years of hard work goodbye.
And all the etc that goes with it.
You’d have to pull a ‘Night of the Long Knives’ style stunt to make it work Lara. I thought about it on the plane.
I agree with Dondiego, Lara. The cost is simply too high for most family men.
As others have stated, Lara, the cost for any family man is simply too high.
There are dark times ahead for our once-great little nation, but it will not be ‘our side’ which starts the bloodshed, because most of us are busy working to provide for our family (and the army of leeches we also fund through our taxes) and just want to be left alone. Plenty of us are watchful, though, and when the spark does ignite we will be ready to protect our families.
In the meantime, many of us still labour under the illusion that the solution is not a commitment of blood and iron, but time and energy spent involved in politics. FWIW, I suspect many of my fellow kiwis don’t grasp the fact that because they’re so indolent in participating in the political process now, practically guarantees that blood and iron will have to be spent. At some point, ‘they’ will make a demand so egregious that even the corrupt, mendacious, Manchurian holding the relevant Ministerial Warrant will say ‘No’, and at that point (because for generations ‘they’ have been treated like spoiled toddlers, given everything they’ve asked for with no requests made of them in return) they will throw a tantrum which will undoubtedly lead to the spark which ignites the flame.
It is kiwis’ collective apathy towards the political process which will directly lead to this outcome. How many – men and women – seek office in order to influence policy? How many of us are members of a political party? How many attend the various public meetings our political overlords host to offer up the illusion they work for the people who vote for them? The answer is Far Too Few, and that’s why some day the blood is guaranteed to flow and the iron fly.
It’s time to get involved in your local politics.There are many Teaparty members who are ordinary folks,some working class,some small business owners and some retired folks who just feel it is their duty to give public service.
Look up the requirements to run for your local offices and go for it.We live in a time when running for office at the grass roots level couldn’t be cheaper or easier.Throw your name in the hat,spend a few bucks printing flyers and show up for the various talks and debates with your facts straight and ready to let loose with both barrels.
3 years from now is our next city council elections where I am.If my current council member doesn’t live up to expectations and no one better jumps first I intend to run for his seat myself.
‘assumed yo be guilty’ and now the SCOTUS has decided that it is illegal for a law-abiding person cannot buy a gun for another law-abiding person. Another step down the road to slavery.

Sotomeyer wrote the decision and Scalia dissented. I don’t know why they bother pretending the SCOTUS is apolitical.

Did it offend you?
deeply!
I need counseling now. And therapy, because I’m a victim and everything.
Me too,it warped my little mind
Will at minimum need a case of Scotch and a couple weeks to rehabilitate.
At the taxpayer’s expense, naturally…
Well, at least you have an excuse now to go a-rapin and a-pillagin’. What with being a victim and all. It’s society’s fault, donchyano?
Indeed. My lawyer will tell the court how traumatized..traumatized I am by past events.
I was Mawmed.
And if I’m lucky enough to get a female judge who just can’t wait to play Caring Mommy, I’m gonna walk, man.
Just get a really dark tan,speak gibberish and all will be well,the defense lawyers will flock to your door pro bono.
Oh dear little petal, your feelings are hurt.
I’m sure there is a government funded program where similarly sensitive persons can meet for weekly group therapy sitting in a circle, holding hands and singing Kumbaya. 
There is?
I’ll apply, pronto.
Fuck the therapy, KG, just go for the ACC payout.
Right. Good plan, John. I’m filling out the forms even as we speak.
yes, people are apathetic, they just don’t want to know. Heads in the sand.
This is the problem. And the dumbing down. What will the future leaders be like? Will conservatives actually die out?? Because the masses are now brainwashed., especially the young.
The left are self destructing though, even if they don’t realise it.
“The left are self destructing though, even if they don’t realise it.”
They are, Lara, but they’ll take decent society down before they go.
