The Greens and the Children's Commissioner don't have a clue
It appears that the Green Party and the Office of the Children's Commissioner have not even read Larry Baldock and Sheryl Savill's petitions regarding child abuse and physical punishment - but they spend a lot of energy telling people what they think of them. More than 600,000 signatures for both petitions were delivered to Parliament today.
Both Offices have told me that they will not be signing Larry Baldock's petition. His petition calls for the Government to address child abuse. They dont want to sign that petition. The Grens reasons were because Baldock has a petition asking "Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"
Does he? Many people in both offices are not even aware that it is Sheryl Savill's petition that appears to have the numbers for a referendum.
The Greens and the Children's Commissioner's Office need to get clued up on what they are protesting otherwise they`ll come across as ignorant idiots.
