Crikey, you lot are a bit shallow aren't you? What's the matter with a politician writing a bill that removes the right to use "discipline" as a defence in child abuse cases?

And then you use insults about her femininity to somehow justify your argument?! You'd better find something that supports your case better than that! :girlfight:

Personally I think the bill was a good idea. That probably makes me a minority of one on this site. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Though they're not the only ones responsible. The fact is many people, especially the Mother's Against Everything, are quite keen bringing in more bureaucratic jargon and P.C. claptrap.

Michael Laws' last article was quite good. A good point he made among others was that our society is quite happy to have harsh punishments for disobedient children, but when it's someone's own child they are totally against the thought of their innocent darling baby being punished and blame everything but the child and themselves for their child's behaviour. The laws coming in now are really to protect the arses of politicians that don't want to get harassed by these mother's and become liable for some shit for some stupid reason.

How can you not see that it is a completely ineffective waste of time in terms of preventing child abuse, whilst simultanously criminalising normal decent kiwi parents?

The bill is a good idea in the same league as micro-chipping dogs, history professors running the economy and members of parlianment unaccountable to any electorate.

The bill 'was and can not' prevent child abuse any more than speed limits prevent speeding. Bradford's bill removes the 'defence' of resoanble force' becasue the public could not agree to what reasonable force is.

Most of New Zealand has moved on from this.

Na. Because the do-gooder, milk-monitor bossy girls that we have running the show at the moment were unwilling to put the effort into defining reasonable force. (Like it's even difficult - open hand, doesn't leave a bruise).

Get involved in the communities it is happening, in the schools, educate the kids about how to deal with it, talk to ministers at churches & get some education happening at grass roots level, that kind of thing. Some laws are ambulance's at the bottom of hills or similarly they miss the boat.

How can we move on from something that has now been made Law, and therefor will remain with us and our children from here on?
Or should I say states's offspring?

Parents are made less and less responsible for childrens upbringing,
Teachers are powerless to discipline, the police are scrutinised and vilified for policing, turned into a revenue gathering collecting agency.
Ad the " underclass" is rapidly expanding thanks to
the state sponsored breeding program's, and various other aids.
The ever increasing number of benificiaries/state dependents is being paid by an ever diminishing group of working taxpayers.

And it is destroying our social fabric, we don' need just police.... we need to remove the sort of people that have created this insane madness.

Absolutely 100% correct. Now Im going to say something that is 100% chauvinistic and very politically incorrect............and frankly I dont give a damn about that.
3 women:
1) Bradford, probably shares the same hairdresser as Worzel Gummidge and has the dress sense of a sack of potatoes. Is a complete moron and frankly its an international embarrassment that our mickey mouse electoral system enables people like her to become MPs.
2) Clark, probably related to the Frankenstein family and is the most corrupt and scheming priminister in our history. Probably headed to the UN where she can feel comfortable with her communist mates and continue to spread her poison.
3) Jenny Shipley, well shes not exactly an oil painting either. But at least compared to the former two she had good manners and a sense of decorum. She also made reasonable attempt to dress / present herself with a degree of elegance. As a priminister way way ahead of Frankensteins relative.

If at some satge in the future we have another woman priminister please let it be a conservative politician with the success story of Margaret Thatcher or even Golda Meier.

I don't believe people in NZ would/could respect a female politician who wasn't butt ugly. Maybe that's the reason why women in politics (especially in narrow minded NZ) are unattractive and almost manly, because the attractive ones don't get taken seriously, they are too feminine and there are too many chauvinists about who still believe women don't have any place in having anything to do with running our country.

Agree. Labour have an unabashed intent to 'redistribute wealth' from the rich - whatever rich means? Anyone who earns above the average wage if Michael Cullen - who's not short a bob or two himself - has his way.

Teachers spend the first 10 minutes of every 40 minute class getting kids to sit down and calm down, the next 5 to stop talking to their mates, another 5 to confiscate the cellphones, 15 minutes of teaching, and the last 5 giving out detentions - which no-one turns up to. Which then means paperwork and phone calls. Not to mention the wasted time of the teacher. Not to mention the social working role they play. Not to mention the parenting role they play. Not to mention the complete lack of respect - and personal abuse - and (yes it will come too) the physical abuse. Not to mention the lack of management support (cos they're too scared to fight back against the PC system). Not to mention the powerlessness to actually discipline kids (for that is what they really need - despite the B/S the apologists tell us to the contrary).

Boundaries. Consequences. Responsibility. Largely missing in worrying amounts of the next generation.

I imagine the Police suffer from comparable amounts of 'down time'.

Heck, I wouldn't be a teacher for $200k a year and the keys to an oil rig or two in Saudi...

So where do these kids end up...well guess what - on the benefit (the state's children). Well woop dee doo, there's a frikkin surprise.

God help the vast majority of kiwis if Labour are re-elected in any shape or form. There will be no stopping them from strangling the work generating element of NZ to death and then kicking the last breath out of it, but that's ok cos we'll still green and clean (can't we be anyway, without all that bollox?).

Has the ETS issue been debated here yet...? Now there's a little beauty that will knock Rogernomics into a cocked hat in terms of economic consequences).

Their mission will not be complete until everyone is the same, earns the same (whether you work, or don't) and thinks the same..or doesn't think at all.

NZ is still a country to be hugely proud of, despite the changes even I've seen over the past 11 years, but IMO it's really teetering on the edge of an rather large social engineering abyss right now.

Despite how it sounds, I'm not actually a fully paid up member of the National Party, or even ACT. What I am is a simple bloke who just doesn't want to have to continually subsidise a growing number of losers, theorists and apologists sitting at the bottom of the heap and putting down deep roots like it's going outta fashion, and pulling everyone else down to their pathetic standard.

So for every child that commits suicide, it's the parent's fault?

I'm saying I'd rather not have policy written for my childs upbringing by a parent that has undergone extreme mentally emotional scaring as a result of
their experiences with a failed child's upbringing. What suddenly makes them fit for the job? If anything, I would say they are less fit for the job because their perceptions on what should be a positively influenced issue would be continuously overshadowed by the negative events of their past. I believe those events would have been so traumatic that it would make it near impossible for a parent to look past those events.

I'm saying I'd rather not have policy written for my childs upbringing by a parent that has undergone extreme mentally emotional scaring as a result of
their experiences with a failed child's upbringing. What suddenly makes them fit for the job? If anything, I would say they are less fit for the job because their perceptions on what should be a positively influenced issue would be continuously overshadowed by the negative events of their past. I believe those events would have been so traumatic that it would make it near impossible for a parent to clearly look past those events without making decisions that would take into account their past personal experiences.


The very opposite of what you argue could in fact make a parent who has lost a child to suicide so much the wiser.

It could, but in the case of Sue Bradford I think not. :zzzz:

Some think it would, some think it wouldn't. Why risk it then?

Why not just leave the job to somebody whose in neither of those positions?

I hold my ground in stating that I don't believe Sue Bradford should have this responsibility or be risked with this responsibility.

So for every child that commits suicide, it's the parent's fault?

So for every child that commits suicide, it's the parents success???

No and no. It's obvious that a parent has a degree of responsibility is it not?

Although suicide is an all to common tradgedy in today society, its is an extreme event which would change "normal" parenting behavior, possibly causing people to take overcompensationary measures.
I dont know what kind of mother Sue Bradford is or was, but when she pushes rules on every other parent in NZ, against what the majority of the population wants, its bullshit. Maybe theres a voice in her head saying that she couldnt save her own childs life but she would like to think by pushing in new laws shes making up for it by saving others.
But thats her demon, not ours.
