Under anti-truancy laws proposed by the New South Wales Government parents will face a hefty fine or even jail time for not sending their children to school.
In recent days the radical legislation has been met with both harsh criticism and surprising levels of support.
Civil libertarian David Bernie has told QUT’s Brylee Clelland he is firmly against the proposed legislation and says the reforms are unacceptable.
However, the move has also received support with many pointing to the success of similar laws enforced overseas.
Everybody seems to be taking a side on this one so feel free to join in. I will get the ball rolling and suggest the legislation is a little extreme.
As a master of the ‘sickie’ my parents would still be in prison if it was applied to me.
