Cool nice one. Yeah since I like smacking my kids around as it's my god given right ya know (sarcasm). She may be a complete nutter, but at least she actually cares about the fact that NZ has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the OECD and something really needs to be done about it.
Repealing Section 59 aka the "Legalise Child Abuse Law" was a good thing. Good for children, good for NZ in general and if it helps to reduce the shocking rates of abuse we have in NZ then all the better. Those even more crazy religions nutjobs from Family First aka the "It's Gods wills that I smack you mr 3 year old" are just creepy... Anyone failing to see that is missing the whole point.
Anyone who equates smacking your child with child abuse is just as much a nutter as she is. People who are going to abuse their children will do so whether or not smacking is legal.
So So true. Seen the latest stats? WORSE than before the bill was repealed. Not 1 kid has been saved this way!
