Hanging should be enough, but if it doesn't work we could try your suggestion and quarter the ringleaders I suppose. If there are still problems we would have to have a draw or two. |

| 803937 | 2009-08-27 01:14:00 | No Sol, she isn't confused . The word "smack" does not appear anywhere in the law . It is a form of assault and assault is unlawful . Section 59 provides an exception, a defence for parents permiting mild assaults on their children as part of parenting . NZ is a first world country yet we have alarming rates of child abuse . Anything which sends the message that hitting kids is wrong can only be a good thing . Finally, someone on this forum who actually knows what they're talking about |

| 803943 | 2009-08-30 07:50:00 | Murder, fraud, and assault are all unlawful but still occur. Pointless laws, lets repeal them. The law is full of exceptions. For instance every person must wear a seatbelt except for those that do not, for one reason or another. The fact that Section 59 provided an exception ( or a defence ) is no reason in itself to repeal such law. The law simply does not work because there are always going to be those that do not care about others and will break, bend or twist laws without regard to the consequences if indeed there be any at all. |
