The Children's Commissioner on Smacking
NZ Politics

Family First have claimed (since confirmed by NewstalkNZ) that three social workers were bullied and threatened with their jobs for saying that they supported an amendment to section 59 of the Crimes Act, rather than repealing it (as supported by the Children's Commissioner).

This is somewhat over the top. Sure they can hold the view that any form of physical discipline on your children is wrong. But it appears that the Children's Commissioner and others want to go further than this and bully anyone who holds an alternate view.

I think it's time she found another job.
