Family First has released a guide on how current MPs have voted on controversial family and conscience issues in the last 12 years.
The resource, titled “Value Your Vote 2014”, was released in early August, about seven weeks before New Zealand’s general election.
The issues covered include redefining marriage, the anti-smacking law, parental notification for teenage abortion, the decriminalisation of prostitution, and raising the drinking age.
The lobby group is also seeking to find out views of party leaders and candidates on a wide range of family issues, which will be posted to a website, www.valueyourvote.org.nz
“Families deserve laws that strengthen and protect them – not ones that redefine and undermine them, “ said Family First NZ director Bob McCoskrie.
“We are pleased to offer this resource to assist families in making an informed choice at the polling booth this September.”
