In light of the post below it is entirely reasonable to expect that a good number of children have mothers who have lied about their parentage. It is sad that social policy which encourages such exploitation had led us to a situation whereby courts now need to be able to issue DNA-testing orders that confirm a child's biological father.
It's a simple matter. Fathers have a right to know. Well done Judy Turner. And Judith Collins, if this law change is what you "have been talking about it for a long time" why didn't you draw up a bill? Don't try and steal United Futures's thunder.

I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing that courts are allowed to issue DNA-test. Protects men against false paternity claims. And that is a good thing, right?
The bad thing is that they are having to override a mother's refusal which may be difficult for the child.
Aren't all babys born in NZ given a heel prick blood test which is kept on record already?
It might be difficult for the child, but then that is no reason why other people's money should be spent on that mother.
