- Description
Colin Craig, the leader of the Conservative Party is shown asking if he should not "whip up the whole bloody anti-smacking debate ahead of the election?" His supporters agree: "Yeah, nah, whatever helps your ratings", "Not off the top of my head", "I'll vote for anyone who sticks up for thuggery", "A good smack around never does anyone harm" and "Sorry - my brain's not working".
Accompanying note from cartoonist states 'Despite the 2009 referendum on smacking showing that 87 per cent of signatories did NOT think smacking should be a criminal offence, the law changed anyway to make it criminal. Colin Craig's pro-smacking comments may be sad for our society, but he has picked the right issue in terms of bumping up his ratings ahead of this year's election. Cartoon shows Conservative Party leader Colin Craig and 'Kiwis'.'
