Inconsistency

The Herald on Sunday reports:

Heavyweight boxer says he is in favour of the anti- legislation remaining intact, saying that such punishment must always be “a final resort only”. …

“Kids are like that too. You don't retaliate – you take time out, they take time out and you and they think more clearly. Smacking can only be a final, last resort and should never be a regular thing.”

The anti-smacking does not allow smacking as a last resort. All smacking for correctional purposes is illegal.
