A brief description of what I am doing and what I need:

By being on a father’s strike I am not open to receive any benefit. Already I have an outstanding debt to the Inland Revenue in the thousands, which I refuse to pay. It is wrong and immoral for the State to put its demand of financial support for those children purposefully separated from their fathers, before first recognising and securing the relationship between the father and the child.

I refuse to cooperate with a State system that would willfully neglect its children. This is to say that the relationship between the parent and the child under any allegations of domestic violence is the first consideration properly to protect the child not the second. If protection or other separation orders are to separate the child from the parent or [father] the justifying conditions must be fully researched and absolutely competent. The existing separating justifications are an aberration in complacent and exploitative humanity. Children’s needs in News Zealand appear to be very secondary to those demands of systemic controls.

I gain enough money to live on, either by not incurring costs, living off the charity of friends, or from occasional work painting for cash. While I am painting I cannot commit myself to the intensity necessary to wrestle the injustices from the system. Without Internet connections or any other standard equipment for such activity I spend much of the money I could earn in exorbitant unnecessary costs.

I request to advance my ability. The services I provide can be charged and are tax deductible. Such work would allow me to construct a frame for a coalition of fathers. Once a web site was running, and the first newsletter constructed, the primary foundations would be in place. The membership of such a coalition is being a father of a child. In our present day society fathers are in need of additional protections against their societal neglect. This is provable through the investigation and presentation of my arguments. I am committed to presenting these facts to be recognised as truth.


About the public televised debate between “lawyers” and “fathers.”

The basic information on this event has been organised. A team of lawyers as organised by Stuart Cummings will meet in debate with a team of Fathers as headed by Bevan Berg. Darrell Carlin and Bruce Tichbon have both agreed in principle to make up the fathers team. The event will be held at Hoani Waititi marae in West Auckland. The marae is Pita Sharples marae. It seems most likely that Prime TV will cover the event. If not Close Up have expressed interest although their coverage may not be as comprehensive as Primes. The topic of debate will be...

"Can a child's best interests be respected as paramount in the Family Court.

Approximately 150 people will be invited to the event. The invitations will represent as fair as possible different perspectives from New Zealand's community affected by the Family Court. Approximately 100 of those invitations will be voting invitations if voting is required. The rules of the debate are yet to be confirmed.

Confirmation of some of the details will be made after August 1st.
