One of my questions relates to the Minister's recommendation on child poverty, child well-being and the production of a social package. Is there a proposal to tie welfare into vaccinations, for example? The overwhelming evidence is that vaccinations protect children and that is a service. We know that a small group of people disagree with vaccinations. Also on the issue of child well-being, we know the stress on a family unit is significant. What is the status of the proposal to have the name of the father on the birth certificate?
