John Key on anti-smacking legislation

Can anyone back this up? If you saw Agenda tonight, please comment.
Just watching Agenda, with Key, Barnett, Clark & Bradford on.

Key has just trumped Bradford & Clark.

He stated unequivocally that, if parents are criminalized by the amendment for light smacking, then, if elected PM, he will change the legislation to prevent that.

What it means is that National's support for the amendment is conditional on the amendment functioning in the way that the likes of Bradford & Clark are saying it is supposed to work, and, if that turns out to not be the case, then it will be amended so that it does function that way.
