Australian government stops payments for anti-vaccinators
[quote]Parents who are "conscientious objectors" to childhood vaccination will have their childcare and family tax payments stopped from 1 January next year as the federal government attempts to crack down on the anti-vaccination movement.

This is nice. First thing this Government has done that I've agreed with. Anyone who chooses not to vaccinate is endangering their children and while they might not care about that now, maybe they will once they start losing state benefits.

Unsettled science aside this is far too intrusive, the government should not be taking away tax credits from parents who chose an alternative lifestyle. The Aztecs didn't have any of the diseases we get, why? They cleaned themselves and high cleanliness standards, it's not proven vaccines actually help, as well as the government should not discriminate against a group who is not proactively harming anyone. Edit: my point isn't let's live like Aztecs and have a society like them it was just showing a successful alternative lifestyle. My main point is that the government is overstepping their boundaries with a move like this.
