 Labour Leader Phil Goff is voting NO!TVNZ’S Q+A’ - Paul Holmes interviews Labour's Phil Goff Sunday 12 April 2009 AUDIO PAUL Let's get to the nitty gritty what policies do you think will have to change, for example can I ask you about smacking, for example should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?

“This is a victory for families, for decency, and for democracy,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ. “The councilors have listened and understood the concerns of the overwhelming majority of submitters to the proposed bylaw, have ignored the advice of officials to exclude such a provision, and have acted in the best interests of children and families.”

National Radio December 2007 LISTEN HERE The Prime Minister says that she doesn't want smacking banned That it "would defy human nature" We agree - So why is she voting for legislation that will make a light smack a crime which must be investigated by Police and referred to CYF???? Email her pm@ministers.govt.nz and tell her what you think John Key should allow Conscience Vote on Flawed Smacking Bill John Key argued that National would allow a conscience vote on the "anti-smacking" bill - but he's changed his mind and all National MP's (like Labour MP's) have to vote for a flawed bill - a bill that doesn't deliver what he promised - that parents wouldn't be criminalised for light smacking LISTEN Smacking will be Illegal BUT it's not a Ban on Smacking!!! LISTEN to Sue Bradford try and persuade the NZ public that smacking won't be legal BUT it won't be a ban on smacking!!!!!!!
