@BernardKeane genuine Q, Bernard - you're pretty anti nanny state usually. In what way is this different?
-
-
-
@trentyarwood nanny state doesn't apply - anti-vaxxers are a danger to rest of community. also, this is cutting payments, not compulsion -
@BernardKeane how is cutting payments to non-objector under-vax parents materially different to deterrent taxation on eg smokes? -
@trentyarwood I don't see it as a deterrent (see Julie Leask's blog on this). I see it as a signal from society that they are not accepted
