I think what we should be looking at is eliminating personal belief exemptions, but not religious ones. For one thing the numbers of sects that are morally against vaccinations are tiny, so herd immunity will cover them.

Playing moderate on this is eliminating the whole purpouse of this bill.

I firmly believe that the child's right to have a proper medical care, and vaccination are important part of this, definitively outweights parents religious reservations. The child cannot decide for himself and, thus, should not be forced by the parents not to take a vaccination because of what are their own beliefs.

     I don't know about religious minorities in Australia, but here the ones that object to vaccination on religious grounds also tend to not use public schools. Eliminating religious exemptions would do less to help children and more to abrogate religious freedom in Atlasia.

Should the parents' ability to deny their kids a part of proper medical care be considered a "religious freedom"? For me it's imposing their views on another person (the child) that can't decide for herself or himself.

Anyway, gentlemen, you're naturally free to oppose an amendment.

PiT does have point about the practical side of "public school/non-public school" system.

Friendly.

I guess that without objections the amendment is adopted?

I'd also like to say it's discouraging that despite quickly agreeing on the bill, it took over a month to open a final vote. Obviously, Blair's resignation slowed us down, but, while Cris' is doing a great job as the Speaker, we're really slow nowdays. We need to get faster.
