The survey was sent to 21,500 homes in Invercargill and asked questions on issues from health to a passenger train service.
Almost 12,000 responses had come back and random sampling had been used to come up with statistics, Mr Roy said.
A total of 83 percent of people responding to the survey wanted to repeal the "anti-smacking" legislation removing a legal defence for parents to hit their children.
--------------------------------------------
12,000 responses out of 21,500 surveys is a very high response rate, and so the result of 83% will be extremely close to reality. And surprise surprise, it also backs up what we have been saying for a long time now: "83% of Kiwis don't want the Anti-Smacking Law". Read the rest of the article here at The Southland Times

All wives deserve a good loving smack occasionally! How else are we supposed to keep them in line? I for one will be thrilled to bring back the smacking though the misses isn't too happy.
You have no right to smack your wife.
Very interesting to see the Nats doing such surveying aye mate.
