Well. i cant imagine them being released to the public. If its been discussed in parliament it should be in hansard though. Doubt there would be many details though. SOB

So there is pressure on parents - no family tax benefit part A if your child does not have the Healthy kids check. That hasn't received much publicity has it?

Oh and I did find a template just search for Healthy kids check shire GPs.
Nothing too threatening about it perhaps?
Except immunisation? So is this opening the door to pressure more on that also?
If I had known 20 years ago that the vaccines being pumped into my baby contained mercury and aluminium there is no way I would have consented.
I happen also not to agree with fluoride but I have exercised my choice, I distill my water and use a non fluoride toothpaste which is becoming increasingly difficult to source.
I seriously believe that we need basic laws but do we really need pressure to conform? How far does it go?

*Sure....they're anti competitive as any subsidised job is. It wouldn't be there without the tax payer. Very damned difficult for a brainwashed collectivist to understand that I know.... (swaggy) *

Not anything new.
In 2010 Gillard linked the end of year supplemental payment for low income families of $700 odd dollars, who had 4 year olds, to them having a health check done on the child.
This was done to benefit kids at the age they are preparing to start education, being assessed for any problems which could act to limit them from being able to get the most from their education potentials.
Previously undiagnosed sight, hearing, and learning difficulties, being the most prevalent problems addressed.

Some people objected, in the same way they did about the intervention programs for aboriginals.
The same answer was relevant, Those looking after their kids responsibly had nothing to worry about.
It is a good idea, because it benefits kids, who are unlucky enough to be born poor, and sees that they get the chance to have a decent medical done.

This is psychiatric though not physical health checks. Psychiatry isnt so advanced. Some may not want the mental health crowd getting near their child.
