Australia wants to reinforce its "no stings, no money" policy by increasing financial penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. Parents will now get 18EUR (A $ 28) tax benefits per non-vaccinated child every two weeks.

Before, Australian anti-vaccine parents lost $ 468 (A $ 737) of tax benefits per child on each end of year. With the new system, they will lose the same amount but the goal is to create a "constant reminder". Those who earn more than 50EUR (A $ 80) a day could be exposed to more sanctions.

The Australian government has decided to take action against the "anti-vaccine" movement. In fact, the number of children who have not been consciously vaccinated increased from 0.23% in December 1999 to 1.77% in December 2014, according to official figures from the parliament. In a press release, Social Services Minister Dan Tehan said repression was necessary to protect public health by recalling that "immunization is the surest way to protect children from preventable diseases. Parents who do not vaccinate their children endanger them as well as the children of others. "
