Seems like a bit of gaslighting to avoid the issue to me...

However, look at the % population and you will see that ,with 17% of the population Maorii are, once again, over represented.
And why is that do you reckon?
I don't speak lightly on this matter. I did 10 years with the CAB 1980's-90's and found that women who had "had the bash" (as most of them called it) mostly went back thinking their man would change only to be back to us asking about non-molestation orders etc. I helped, or tried to help quite a lot of them during these years and never found one that wouldn't speak to me because I was a bloke. The universal thing of help being the number one thing of importance.
Then after retiring is 2008, I drove a van for a teen parent school (11 yearsof it) and had many girls who had left home to live with the father of their child, were getting "the bash" Same old, same old....... et al. "He doesn't mean it. He loves me, but we have problems with money and he gets all upset when he drinks. He has promised me he won't bash me again!"
Facts are facts and that is why I said about the percentages of male violence to women. Maori men are over represented in these statistics. European descent women, perhaps keep it more hidden away. I don't know.
I do not exaggerate any of this. As I said, 21 years of this shit. I feel embarrassed to be a male at times.
.... then, my granddaughter got into a 12 months violent relationship which she finally got away from a couple of months ago. F*ck!!!
