Nanny State Can't Fix Child Assault
"In the wake of the continuing horrific abuse of minors, there is a cacophony of shock, blame and proposed government
solutions. But we must not forget that it is imperative that we get Nanny State out of our lives first," says Peter
Osborne, Libertarianz Social Welfare Spokesman.
"Forget about expecting the Government to repair things. Nothing Nanny State attempts to do to stem the problem of child
assault will make even a dent in the problem. The life of nothingness that is fostered by welfarism could only ever
serve to degrade one's self value. It cheapens all of our lives. Ending the welfare state would mean only parents who
want and care about children will start a family."
"Only New Zealanders as individuals can take control of the social ills facing us all today. Forget about Nanny State,
it was she who set this disaster up in the first place and it was we who voted for it. Nothing can be done until we win
back control over our own lives. This means getting Nanny State out of our homes, out of our workplaces, out of your
children's minds and out of our pockets. The well being of our fellow citizens, neighbours, friends and relatives does
not need to be centrally controlled and we certainly shouldn't be compelled to finance what is now proving to be a
social disaster."
