Children Are Political Footballs

Press Release: New Zealand First Party
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.
“I work with women and
children in South Auckland and their plight should never be
exploited for political or personal gain. I will personally
be writing to the Commissioner of Children, Roger Maclay, to
ask his opinion on where the line should be drawn”, said Mr
Myles.
“Until children are old enough to have adult status
they should not be forced to mouth adult political
sentiments”.
