Health Minister urges electoral commission to reject 'anti-vaxxer' party's new name

Health Minister Greg Hunt has criticised a political party that advocates against compulsory vaccination for a "misleading" attempt to change its name.

Mr Hunt will write to the Australian Electoral Commission urging it to reject the Involuntary Medication Objectors Party's application to change its name to the Informed Medical Options Party. Health Minister Greg Hunt wants the AEC to reject an application by the Involuntary Medication Objectors Party to change its name to the Informed Medical Options Party.

He said the group's views "lack the backing of scientific evidence" and that its members "should consider the harm that can ensue upon the Australian community". Dr Bartone said while Australia had "some of the best health outcomes in the world", this had not been "easily won" and was thanks to public health efforts including vaccination."Vaccination safeguards Australians against disease. It is a powerful tool that is safe and effective to prevent the spread of many diseases that can cause serious ongoing health conditions and sometimes death," he said.

VaccinesSaveLives (with minimal side effects) = good fluoridation = bad (useless & harmful- I've tweeted thousands of times about that) Please don't lump the 2 together even though I would love to see a party opposed to fluoridation. How about Greens?

Don’t let them con people with a change of name they are still a danger to society

So more hate from the fake news SMH against a party that knows that vaccines are NOT the safe medication that you fakers are saying...and Fluoride IS A KNOW CARCINOGEN and they put it every ones water ..report that it is a fact

How about the fat head party.

Too long, just go with 'Dangerous Idiots' Party.

“Informed” 😂😂😂😂😂

How about the Pro Disease Party?

I reckon 'I love Polio' would be a winner?

They could call themselves the Free Ice Cream Party and I’d put them in the “dead stone motherless last” pile, with all the other wingnuts

How can you ask for unity and respect while they are bringing a virus to our country. Give me a break! Also, Chinese need to learn some good manners! So reminiscent of the discrimination and stigma caused by idiots who were a greater threat than the HIV virus. Have we learnt nothing at all? Heartbroken for this community.
