Yeah, but if they change the name of it, then people won't be encouraged to immunise quite as much - you know, people might think 'ahhh can't be bothered taking bub down, but I'd better cos we get the payment if we stay on schedule'. You know? Is that too conspiracy theory of me?

Personally I wonder if the payment shouldn't be an 'informed choice' payment, where it gets given either way but when the parent has learned about vaccines, how they work, what's in them, the social benefits, any risks, what to do in case of reaction - balanced info - not to make people lean a certain way, but just to inform them.
Like conscientious objectors have to have a chat with their GP, it should be conditional on an info session, or spiel from a GP or health nurse.

Just my (off topic) thought for the day.
