Unvaccinated children will be banned from being enrolled in childcare centres and preschools across Australia. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull wants to close state loopholes.
All of us desperately want to protect our children and our grandchildren and other people’s children,’ he said.
‘If you don’t vaccinate your child you are not only putting their own life at risk, but you are putting everyone else’s children at risk.’
The prime minister wants the issue of nationally-consistent vaccination laws discussed at the next Council of Australian Governments meeting of state premiers and territory chief ministers in Canberra.
The announcement comes a week after Mr Turnbull slammed One Nation leader Pauline Hanson for likening the federal government’s ‘no jab, no pay’ policy to a dictatorship.
