Mr. Speaker, they were not the words of the Prime Minister. He only recited the words of the UN in referring to the family.
There are alternative ways of interpreting this term that are much more alarming. It is important to know whether or not the Acting Prime Minister agrees that parents should be able to direct the behaviour of their children, prescribe teaching and reasonable discipline, and impart their own values to the children without interference from the state.
Will the Acting Prime Minister confirm that the state has no place in the nurseries of the nation?
