Labour pamphlet features American family

11/06/2008 17:00:02

The smiling faces of a young family have caused red faces in the Labour Party.

Labour is distributing pamphlets selling its last Budget, using a smiling young couple with a toddler.

However the couple are not from New Zealand, they are Americans. The picture in the pamphlet was plucked from an internet image site for around $20.

National's Bill English says it is clear Labour could not find a New Zealand family to sing the praises of the Budget.
It has also been revealed the same photo has been used by Australia's Labour Government to sell its housing policy.

This is a link for a major political site. By adding this little button on your site and getting 6 people to press it (they have to have an account with the site ... no biggie) your blog post gets published. Newspapers also take these stories.

Amazing.

But that is not all.

All our countries are working together. Everything that is happening in one country is happening in another.

And this is the fine work of ordinary men and women, churches and community groups.

Look at this ... all done by lobby groups.

And at the same time the humanists at family planning want abortion laws loosened. They also want the age of consent lowered to 13 years of age coinciding with the injection young women are receiving for vaginal cancer.

Family Planning wants abortion laws loosened

Family Planning agrees with the anti-abortion lobby that Parliament should review current abortion laws - but it wants to see them loosened, not tightened.

And then the no smacking bill is looking to come under referendum.

Damn spoke too soon.

Domestic abuse: Police to be given new powers

Police will be able to issue immediate orders forcing potentially abusive partners to leave their homes for cool-down periods of up to 72 hours under changes to domestic violence laws unveiled yesterday.
Justice Minister Annette King announced the step as part of a wider raft of changes to the Domestic Violence Act that followed a major review and consultation last year.

The new "safety orders' will require a potentially violent person to stay away from their home for up to 72 hours in cases where police believe there is a likelihood of violence, but do not have a basis for arrest.
Police will also be able to detain a person for up to two hours while the order is processed to allow them to remove the person from the house immediately.


Those who breach the order by returning to the house or contacting their partner or children can be detained for up to 24 hours, and penalised with a consecutive 72-hour safety order. Cabinet papers on the change show police are not expected to offer alternative accommodation to those facing the new orders, although they must consider whether they face undue hardship.


This was added when a council member said they would support it if the man had somewhere to go. But the law is only suggesting consideration be given. And what exactly will the feminists allow to be undue hardship.



Ms King said the Government had consulted widely on it as well as other changes, including stronger penalties of up to two years' imprisonment for breaching protection orders.


The changes will also require the Family Court to assess for itself whether there is a risk of future violence before deciding to drop a protection order, after concern that those protected were often pressured to ask the court to drop the order.


Among other changes are stronger penalties for breaching protection orders and requiring courts to give reasons when they refuse applications for protection orders.
