An example of the wealth of resources we have include: case law for judges recusals:
- Judge Kelly: 19 June 2023: “has recused himself on this matter given that you had previously sought to appeal a decision of Judge K Kelly in which you were the Plaintiff – see SC 29/2023, CIV-2021-092-001563″
- This is a precedent decision of a judge stating grounds for recusal are that the same plaintiff has appealed one of his earlier decisions.
- Note, Judge Kelly is an ex chief legal advisor for the New Zealand police prior to becoming a judge- presenting grounds of a conflict of interest and apparent bias in matters involving the New Zealand Police:

Review of Human Rights Lawyer; Sonia Smith leading the class action in Australia against the Family Court: https://www.metoofamilycourts.com/
“I’m so sorry you are going through all of this torture and inhumane degrading and cruel treatment. I would just like to remind you – and I know that you’re already well aware of it – that there are so many thousands of others facing the same injustices suffering silently and who are crushed without hope. The difference with you is that, you are standing up for everybody and it’s making a huge difference thank you so much for your unbelievable courage and commitment.” – Sonia Smith
“Ponsonby Chambers is the solution to the legal system failures the public have been powerless to protect themselves from. This information and access to resources at least levels up the playing field for a fairer, more “just” fight”
