Submissions
Submission: Social Security (Benefit Categories and Work Focus) Amendment Bill
Submission made online
Against forced child care from age 3
Don’t want our rights to raise our children taken from us
Children’s best interests would NOT be served by compulsory attendance at E.C. E. facilities
One size does not fit all.
The bill actively discriminates against beneficiaries
Blatant discrimination of those receiving a benefit
Young children do best in all aspects of life in the care of their family
Healthy people build healthy communities. Healthy family attachments build healthy people.
From a single Mother
ECE doesn’t seem to suit every child
It is institutional misogyny
I strongly disagree that children so young (3 years) need to be in Early Childhood Centre
From a Solicitor and Notary Public and mother of four children
Importance of establishing secure attachment relationships during infancy in order to optimise brain development
I feel my own family will suffer majorly if this Bill was to pass.
I am a 20 year old single male
For many children ‘later’ is better than ‘earlier’ when it comes to institutional education
Three year olds are far too young to be away from their parents
This is unfair and discriminatory
The Bill is discriminatory and marginalises beneficiaries
Motherless and Fatherless children of NZ forced to have the only parent they have taken away!
An enforced separation of parent and child at the hands of government in exchange for financial assistance is both cruel and contrary to the nature of our free society
Every child and every family is different!
This legislation targets good parents – not the bad ones
The government is saying that because I’m a solo parent I’m unable to make the right decisions for my children
This is the worst kind of government interference into how people choose to raise their families
It is offensive that the job my mother has done and so many other single parents do, is so under-valued
ECE is not beneficial and is not and can not be a substitute for a caring, loving home environment
Trust good parents to make good decisions
I am a mother, not a babysitter and I absolutely oppose this bill
Trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, slavery and deception
This is invasive legislation discriminating against excellent parents and removing their freedom to raise their children in a secure loving environment and not going to achieve better lives for neglected children
This proposed bill will show the New Zealand Government to be punitive and untrustworthy
Children do not belong to the state
From Romania: Please learn from the mistakes others did in history! Thank you!
Children need to be with their family, and nurtured, they must not be treated as tools to force parents to comply with this bill.
I also believe it enforces the detachment of children from their parents at an age which can be detrimental for many
The bill falsely presumes that all beneficiaries’ children are at risk
A child’s right is to be with their parents. To be loved and nurtured and protected.
Family Integrity’s submission
In it’s breadth it overshoots and impinges on the basic rights of dedicated and thinking parents such as myself
Please do the right thing and don’t sully New Zealand’s reputation: vote down this bill
It is a well researched, known and documented fact that it is parental involvement that makes the difference in regards to educational outcomes, not the institutional education of a child
Keep our mana intact, don’t steal our children
Reject compulsory ECE
From a small Home Education Support Group
This National government would be well advised and warned to examine carefully the agendas of those who have promoted, lobbied for and recommended the actions in this bill in order to maintain peace, good relations, civility and lawful behaviour in our communities
Introducing this bill will not achieve a healthy end result for the wonderful country we live in
Staying in the home saves everyone money including the government money in not having to fund ECE’s
New Zealand jails are full of people who went to school not people who were home-educated
Submission from the USA — Author of “Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys”
To be a beneficiary in Christchurch with an added ‘bonus’ of this reform will utterly destroy some
Those Who Would Give Away Their Children for Money, Deserve Neither Children NOR Money
I believe the Welfare Reform Bill to be invalid not only for human rights breaches but also as a Maori for the breach of Article 2 of the Treaty and the breach of the UNDRIP which was endorsed by government in 2010.
Home-educated children do HALF of all the BAD CITIZEN things and DOUBLE all of the GOOD CITIZEN things
Stephen’s submission
We are people, Real People
Home Education Foundation’s submission
I worked at an Early Childhood Center before our little ones were born, we would never send our children to an Early Childhood Education Center
The negative impact of early education is well documented and well ignored by government
What a step backwards this bill is!
If you are deprived of love and affection as a child then key areas of your brain which are responsible for your personality don’t get wired up correctly
Children, again are the victims – and I call that child abuse
A good government does not come into people’s homes and tell them how to raise their children
I see this Bill as an abuse on young children and their parents
Samuel Blight’s submission
Submission from Poland
Tarnya’s submission
This is a poor attempt at trying to tackle New Zealand’s benefit problems!
Is this law about the mighty dollar or about social engineering?
Are 100% of beneficiaries to be treated as though they need to be kept away from their children
