ZB's

Please see the
attached Media Pack which contains additional
information
including:
* results of polls over the past
12 months giving a resounding NO to
Sue Bradford's
proposed ban on smacking
* actual cases in Sweden - that
cut through the rhetoric of the
supporters of a ban on
smacking in NZ and sound a clear warning as to
the
effects on families. Read and weep!
