| 550243 | 2007-10-28 21:58:00 | I apologise to the few intelligent politicians for lumping them all together. Unfortunately, most of them prove that intelligence is not a pre-requisite for becoming an MP Ken What is it you are trying to say Ke? |

| 550246 | 2007-10-28 23:01:00 | What is it you are trying to say Ke? In amongst the 121 politicians there is the odd one that I might trust.... Not based on party lines or political views. Most of them would sell their soul to the Devil to retain their place and voting in a law like this is a good indicator of why I feel this way. Their choice. Stand up and be counted, or, go along with whatever is required to retain a seat in the house. My question is... "Will this kneejerk law against smacking stop kids from being beaten up or killed?? So far this year, indicators unfortunately say no. Ken |

| 550249 | 2007-10-28 23:47:00 | I have to say, this law like the dog collar (microchip) law, will only ever be obeyed by those that already heed the law....in other words it is useless. There will be those that say now the police can do something about the abuse, however, I feel it will only bog the police down with over jealous, busy bodies reporting every clip around the ears from parents byside themselves in the supermarkets..... 120 MP's and this is what we get....how overpaid and un-informed are they?! |

| 550251 | 2007-10-28 23:58:00 | Section 59 Crimes Act 1961 -- "1) Every parent of a child and every person in the place of a parent of the child is justified in using force if the force used is reasonable in the circumstances and is for the purpose of..." Nothing anti-smacking there. But I agree with SolMiester - it won't stop child abuse. Laws don't really stop anything, though. They made P an A-Class drug. Didn't stop P. It (repeal of s59) was an anomaly in the law and now it's been fixed. |
