New Zealand First MP Gilbert Myles says that political parties must stop using children as political footballs.

“To see children promoting a party for this coming election in advertisements is abhorrent to say the very least. New Zealanders should wake and up deplore the actions of these politicians.

“Until children are old enough to have adult status they should not be forced to mouth adult political sentiments”.
