He pārongo atu anōBack Issues: The ill-judged abuser of a 'no good' defacto wife

Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. In 1980, Judge Joe Watts sentenced Peter John Howse to six months periodic detention for domestic assault. His comment "The only reason I will not send you to jail this time is [that] the woman assaulted was your de facto wife and by that very fact she was no good and won't be too upset you assaulted her" sparked widespread protests and demonstrations. It led to the 1982 Domestic Protection Act, which increased protections for all women in violent domestic situations.
