Political parties who voted for these below voted against the traditional foundation of our country. They voted down the traditional family unit, rejecting what's best for children's welfare.  Families need what strengthens and protects, not what redefines or undermines. When politicians undermine the importance of parents, they harm the nation.  The last Labour government is largely responsible for a huge attack on the morals of our nation.   Before voting for politicians, check who voted against your family. Don't vote for those that voted to corrupt and destroy our families, children and society.

Prostitution.

Prostitution was made legal in New Zealand in 2004, after the passing of the Prostitution Reform Bill. The aim of the Bill was to try and protect the safety and rights of those involved in prostitution. In doing so it made it legal for small brothels to operate in residential areas next to family homes, and failed to protect communities and families from the effects of street and underage prostitution. The Bill was controversial and passed by only a single vote majority.

Civil Unions.

A new form of relationship was created when ‘civil unions’ were invented as a new legal category of relationship in 2004. The Civil Union Act made it possible for couples of either same-sex or to formalize their relationship without the religious or historical boundaries of marriage, through a solemnization ceremony called a civil union. The number of people choosing these unions has been small, showing there was little demand for them.

Euthanasia Bill

The “Death with Dignity” Bill would have legalized euthanasia, by allowing people who are incurably and terminally ill, to request and receive medical assistance to end their life. The Bill was introduced in 2003 and was voted against.  Pro-life groups advocated the alternative of pain for terminally-ill people.

Marriage Amendment Bill

In 2005 the marriage (Gender Clarification) Amendment Bill was put before the house. It attempted to clearly define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, in accordance with the common law understanding of marriage. The Bill was rejected making it possible for courts to re-interpret the way marriage is legally understood. Important because the Relationships Statutory References Act makes no distinction between ‘civil union’ & de-facto people. Marriage no longer having the unique or special status it deserves.

Anti-Smacking Law

In 2007 Section 59 of the Crimes Act was amended removing legal protection from parents who exercise reasonable discipline over their children in the form of light physical punishment. The amendment makes parents who engage in such discipline liable for prosecution and unwarranted intervention by CYF. Meanwhile the actual root causes of child abuse, as identified by UNICEF and CYF reports, remain. The law was passed despite more then 80% of New Zealanders opposing it.

Drinking Age

In 2006 a Bill was presented to parliament to increase the age alcohol can be purchased from 18 to 20. The sale of Liquor (Youth Alcohol Harm Reduction Purchase Age) Amendment Bill was not intended to be a cure-all solution to alcohol abuse, but was intended to challenge a liberal environment in which alcohol is easily accessible and too often abused, especially by young people. The Bill was rejected by parliament.
