And I'm with Weston too - Simon Barnett did an incredible job of making the "pro-smacking" case.
lets stop this right now. when it comes to kids there is NO "pro-smacking" case.

from memory early in this thread, the issue was about dogs and the media, how a "dog bites man" had become a "man bites dog" story in New Zealand, when lo and behold, today the herald runs a dog bites dog story [url/link http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10437366]
and then there was Flann O'Brien (again !) who in Anthony Cronin’s biography No Laughing Matter is described as the .. "Man Whom No Dog Ever Bit"
Cronin recounts the story..
"The Conollys also had a dog called Adam who had become rather wicked. One day when Brian (FOB real name was Brian Nolan) came to the house, Angela told him to go into the drawing room where Adam was, but not to touch the dog in case he got bitten. ‘No dog ever bit me,’ was the reply. Moments later he emerged with blood pouring from his head. In spite of the plainly visible wound, he denied he had indeed been bitten.”

if the "your views" column of the herald is anything to go by Mr Key will have his work cut out.

and if thats a valid representation of the heralds readership, it contains a lot of deranged child beaters.
suggest PA start a fund to facilitate their migration to Australia as thats where they seem to want to go

Should that be, Children should not have the same rights as the family pet.

Sweden is evil …
I must admit, the vision I had was of Russell exiled from Aotearoa and forced to seek the sanctuary and protection of the Swedes, specifically 6 foot blond Swedish volleyball players of the female variety, hence the reference to a nunnery.
I would be up for it myself but for the price of a pint in Stockholm.
Btw the having a cat called Canaille is so you :-)
