"No jab, no pay" law

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced Sunday that the country is to adopt a "no jab, no pay" policy to block parents who refuse to vaccinate their children from accessing some government benefits.

If the measures are passed those parents would be denied the payments — which include childcare rebates, benefits and family tax benefit supplements — reportedly missing out on up to $11,500 per child annually.

Parents unwilling to vaccinate the children on medical or religious grounds will still be allowed to tap into the benefits, although under tighter eligibility requirements.

What do you think? Should this be law everywhere?
