‘Baby formula locked away, bottle-talk banned, and “breastfeeding police” patrolling the wards.
A former midwife has blown the whistle on how rigid breastfeeding policies are putting bureaucracy before babies.
……The (Health) ministry contracts the NZ Breastfeeding Authority to audit maternity facilities to be “baby friendly”, as part of New Zealand’s obligations to the World Health Organisation and Unicef. Nearly all maternity facilities are currently accredited. Under the baby-friendly policy, mothers must make an “informed decision on feeding”, but formula cannot be discussed during antenatal classes. To retain the baby-friendly accreditation, maternity units must maintain an 80 per cent exclusive breastfeeding rate…’
New Zealand’s OBLIGATIONS to the U.N. bodies concerned? Did anybody ask Kiwis (or any other Westerners, for that matter) if they wanted to sign up to this garbage? Anybody? Ever?
Because until they do – and it’s put to a vote – nobody, anywhere has any “obligations” whatsoever to the rules and regulations of any U.N. body. Screw them and screw the politicians who secretly sign up to treaties and agreements. Until a candidate for political office pledges to put ALL treaties and agreements his or her country has signed to a vote then no politician is worth supporting.

Go for it.
Wabbit smells a set-up:
Remember the female Charlotte Dawson, who was admitted to hospital supposedly because she’d been bullied by trolls online?
‘….Hospitalised star Charlotte Dawson reportedly showed up for a 60 Minutes interview just hours after being admitted to hospital following a Twitter spat with online bullies…’
and:
‘…Influential social media consultant Laurel Papworth said Dawson broke the cardinal rule of the internet: Don’t feed the trolls.
….”Charlotte is obviously a very vulnerable person who has bullied people by calling them ‘slags’ and ‘whores’ and whatever else and now she’s been bullied herself.”
‘…The incident has led the national crisis support service Lifeline to question the diligence of social media in monitoring cyber-bullying, while others have called for reforms to be stepped up.
Australia’s federal government has already been consulting extensively on whether tougher laws for online abuse are needed, but attention to the subject has increased dramatically over the past 24 hours...’ source
I rest my case. It’s a simple case of the biter bit but the ensuing “reporting” is the media pushing an agenda. Funny, that…the more legacy media tanks, the more they attack the alternatives and call for more controls. Politicians are happy to impose more controls – and to accept help from the media in their campaign for them – because they too, hate the idea of their subjects enjoying free speech.

Mad Britain #456:
‘Pharmacist who asked colleague what her favourite sex position is LET OFF at tribunal because he had a ‘restrictive Muslim background’
A professional panel found Khalil Jamil (pictured) acted inappropriately by making comments at a pharmacy in Fauldhouse, West Lothian, but said was not sexually-motivated.‘
So, now the primitive repressed sexuality of muslim males is an excuse for their..err..primitive sexual attitudes! Perhaps the next one caught having sex with a goat will be excused for the same reason? The two-tier “justice” system is already in place and sharia “law” can’t be far behind.
“..poorer, less happy and less free”
‘…Whether Mitt Romney can eliminate the deficit is not clear. What is beyond doubt, though, is that Mr Obama cannot. His four years have left America poorer, less happy and less free. As Clint Eastwood told Republican delegates: “Politicians are employees of ours – and if somebody does not do the job, we gotta let ’em go.”
In a television interview after Mr Romney’s speech, the presenter asked me whether it was possible to win on an austerity message. Hadn’t the Greeks just punished the politicians who suggested deep budget cuts? “Yes,” I told him, “but Americans aren’t Greeks. We expect better of you.”….’ Daniel Hannan, Brit conservative .
