This actually would infringe on the animal welfare act ...

Are you serious? You cannot beat your cat anymore if its misbehaving? I never knew.

Even without strangulation?

We propose major changes in current policies and laws, supported by significant increases in funding. Our recommendations cover 12 broad areas.

1 Expand access and choice from the current target of 3% of the population being able to access specialist services to provide access to the ‘missing middle’ of people with mental illness or significant mental distress who cannot access the support and care they need. Given current prevalence data suggesting one in five people experience mental health and addiction challenges at any given time, an indicative access target may be 20% within the next five years. New Zealand has deliberately focused on services for people with the most serious needs, but this has resulted in an incomplete system with very few services for those with less severe needs, even when they are highly distressed.

Intersting that you forgot to refer to all the Labour, Green and NZ First bullies - talking about one eyed?

Interesting insinuation re Amy Adams. I haven't seen or heard yet anything which would put Amy in the "bully bin" - and knowing her personally I would be surprised if this is true. I guess she was as justice minister responsible for the anti cyber bullying act, but probably not even you would hold that against her.

Do you want to clarify this statement?

You mean the media is one eyed?

First strangulation charge laid "

"We know that strangulation is a serious risk marker in family harm situations. There is obviously significant risk to victims, and it is often a precursor for more serious violence, including homicide," Ellwood said.

Thank You Labour. I never realised strangling your partner was wrong before. Shame on previous governments for not implementing a law to cover such violence.

Next thing they'll be passing laws banning stabbing and shooting.

Sigh - there always will be loop holes. Wondering why Labour didn't yet ban kicking, hitting, biting and poisoning your partner. As well - it seems to be quite ok to push them over a cliff or sabotage their cars. No special law created yet. Quite sloppy work, I must say.

Suggest you read wikipedia "Strangulation Domestic Violence"
