HT: Semper Vita who pointed out the disgusting bias in the Herald’s article where they renamed the march.
The Children’s Commissioner has some comments printed in the Herald today.
“Instead of a clearly divisive march, I would rather see our time taken up with debating the nature of the relationships we have with children as parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents, teachers and community members. Those relationships shape our children’s futures.
Wait… didn’t a mere 6% of voters want smacking illegal?
That means that New Zealanders are actually quite united over this issue – meaning it’s the Children’s Commissioner who’s being divisive.
And the Herald.
And the Government.
Oh, and let’s not forget assorted out of touch celebrities.

It’s divisive to continually equate child abuse to a smack in discipline. On one hand, the law will apparently reduce real child abuse, and on the other they acknowledge the law change was never about that because it obviously will not and has not reduced real child abuse.
