National's Green Paper on Child Abuse

Apparently, "Ms Bennett told reporters today the discussion paper was different, gusty and controversial."


(Gusty? Very.) Gutsy? Not. Different? I wish. Controversial? Like whether cinnamon or cocoa is better on cappuccino.

It is 'talked up' to disguise.

Just another governmental PR consultative exercise.

Talks predominantly about Leadership and then Asks for Answers. So, so many.

Uses the word 'appropriate' 14 times.
Uses the word 'vision' 21 times.

Green.

Green?

Made from Blue and Yellow.

That cover makes me gag. Trying to think of why it makes me gag, and it's the words: Every child thrives, belongs, achieves. That so much reduces what a child is, to what a child does, ie a utalitarian approach.

If I had to design a cover, I'd say: Every child is a precious gift from God. But then that would probably make the designers of the cover gag instead.
