The somebodies that should be thinking of the children in the first instance would be the Mothers, as Nature intended. As for being adults, have you heard how Mothers of young children talk? its all Like goo goo gah gah diddums and “Who’s mommies big girl” an stuff. Can you imagine the chaos? “Its a bad bill but it is so young and cute, who could resist it?”
Steve, trolling like this isn't funny and it isn't clever. Please stop.

Lyndon Hood has dug up John Key’s responses to the anti child-battery referendum.
While in Opposition (2008):
“Why is the Prime Minister so opposed to New Zealanders exercising their democratic rights to be heard that she is using alleged technical difficulties to suppress the will of the New Zealand people?”
…
“Is the Prime Minister aware that unlike her I actually have respect for the New Zealand public’s right to express their views, while she is so arrogantly out of touch with New Zealanders she has forgotten what that is like?”[ source ]
And when in government (2009):
“Asked whether he would act on the referendum result Prime Minister Key reiterated his support for the current legislation.
“I think it’s a bit harsh to say I would totally ignore a referendum, I think you do have to listen to people. My view’s always been that the law in its current form is working.”

Non-binding and will be completely ignored.
Non binding, but with a clear-cut issue, it would be a brave government that went against it.
