520 _aThis article examines the issue of mandatory reporting of child abuse with an emphasis on the public and private distinction of the matter. This dichotomy has stemmed from a general belief of government dislike concerning the issue of intervening in the private sphere of the family. It examines the history and origins of child abuse reporting legislation and discusses the proposed new legislation. Arguments for and against the legislation are summarised and an in-depth analysis of the concepts of 'public' and 'private' are given. The author concludes that the mandatory reporting of child abuse is unlikely to become law in New Zealand.
