Sue Bradford's smacking dilemma solved
Green MP Sue Bradford says some parents who are about to be asked a question in a referendum, "Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand" are facing a dilemma. What if they don't think a smack is part of good parental correction and also should not be a criminal offence? Do they answer Yes or NO?
That's simple. If they don't think a smack is part of good parental correction, they will concentrate on whether it should be a criminal offence, because the question is asking an opinion of legislators who have the power to decide on such matters. Otherwise they`ll effectively be answering, "Should a smack be part of good parental correction?", and their answer to that is NO.
If they don't think a smack is part of good parental correction, they`ll answer NO.
If they don't think smacking should be a criminal offence, they`ll also answer NO.
Sue Bradford has just given people two reasons to vote NO. And after this interview.

The academic nutboxes of the left have out-thought themselves. By purposely trying to complicate the understanding of the question with longwinded defninitons of what it might mean, in an attempt to win votes through error, they'll just irritate people. Just like they did before the last election. And voters will turn once again to how they see it - not how an unpersonable dictator tells them to see it. What Bradford doesn't get is that people can think. She hates that idea, but I get the feeling she hates truth in general.
and if you think a smack is not good parental correction and that the law should make that clear, vote YES.
