Hmmmm. I don't think of my kids as my property, but my responsibility. Reasonable discipline is a big part of that.
I'm also from NZ and continue to smack my kids when I think it's appropriate. It seems less appropriate the older they get - other options become more effective.
I expect the government to enforce human protection from danger and abuse, but not discipline.
