SOLO-NZ Press Release:

'No' Vote a Defeat for Political Correctness and Nanny Statism

August 21, 2009

The 80% 'No' response to the referendum question, "Should a smack as part of good parental discipline be a criminal offence in NZ?" is a triumph for common sense over politically correct left-fascist Nanny Statism, says SOLO Principal Lindsay Perigo.

"In 2007, Communist Green MP Sue Bradford managed to bulldyke through Parliament the repeal of Section 59 of the Crimes Act which allowed for 'reasonable force' in the disciplining of children by parents. Parents who smacked became liable for prosecution, at the discretion of the police.

"The rationale for this blatant violation of parental prerogatives by Comrade Bradford's beloved state was the need to reduce the number of children battered to death by violent parents, when in truth this latter has nothing to do with smacking and everything to do with her. Parents who beat their children to death are scum paid by the government to breed children they don't want in return for the votes of the scum. Comrade Bradford is an enthusiastic advocate of this policy. As such, she and her fellow-communists in Parliament are the biggest single cause of real child abuse in this country.

"Now the country has spoken. Gutlesss, politically correct Prime Minister Neville Key will ignore the voice of the people for sure—and thus, thankfully, trigger the beginning of his own demise. As time goes on, the National Socialists are proving to be no different from Helen Clark's Labour Socialists. The challenge to freedom-lovers is to ensure that all statists get consigned to what Ronald Reagan called ‘the ashcan of history,’” Perigo concludes.
