[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.

Actually mass vaccination isn't an individual protection. It's meant to prevent a spread of disease and is no guarantee that you won't get ill. Australia is a socialist country, the people that live there are subjects not citizens. If their government actually acknowledge individual liberty they would simply allow natural consequences instead of trying to enforce their policy. I don't agree with anti vaccination activists but I also don't agree with nationalized oppression and the sheep that allow it to flourish. Unfortunately the States are now filled with so many sheep the we too are headed in that direction.
