they invaded your home.

On 16 May 2007, Labour's Anti-Smacking bill was passed into law. Sue Bradford (Green MP) had introduced the bill, but it was Labour who ensured that it was successful.

National voted for the bill at its final reading upon an agreement that inconsequential cases would not be prosecuted. This made a terrible law slightly better.

At the time that the law came into action, an average taken of 14 seperate polls across New Zealand showed that 83% of New Zealanders were strongly opposed to the law.

One month after the law was passed, another poll was done by an independent research company, this time on 1,000 people throughout New Zealand. This poll showed that 78% of New Zealanders planned to ignore the tyrannical new law.

Good parents know the difference between a smack and child abuse.
