Australia to Deny Welfare Benefits to Anti-Vaccination Parents

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced on Sunday, April 12, plans to withhold benefits to families that do not vaccinate their children. Known as the “no jab, no pay” reform, the proposed policy would deny welfare payments, childcare rebates, and family tax benefits to families that refuse to vaccinate their children.

“We have to make sure everyone is vaccinated for the safety of our communities,” said Abbott in a video published on Tuesday, April 14. Credit: Facebook/Tony Abbott
