Smacking bill meeting here
Manawatu Standard | Friday, 2 March 2007
National Party police and welfare spokesman Chester Borrows will talk about the anti-smacking bill in Palmerston North on March 9.
Mr Borrows wants to set defined limits on what is "reasonable force" when parents or caregivers smack children. The bill, brought by list MP Sue Bradford, seeks to ban all smacking of children.
Palmerston North Christian Churches' Association spokesman Dale Meacheam said that as a concerned parent, he wanted to know what his rights would be if the bill passed its third reading. His group is bringing Mr Borrows to Palmerston North.
Anyone interested would be welcome and the meeting starts at 7.30pm at the Palmerston North Convention Centre.
"I hope the place will be packed," Mr Meachem said.
