    Another idea (just to keep Drew happy)

    Contraceptives in the water supply, no one is allowed the antidote until they can prove they are willing and capable to be a good parent...

    Nope, I'd like to see any public funding for Plunket stopped. They're a pointless middle-class institution that takes money from the health system and has no measurable outcome. Except what they tell you they did.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Fascist. Your definition of good parenting isn't the same as the rest of the world's.

    Chicken/Egg. I believe Plunket's public funding was pulled a decade ago, and more.

    Before which you had the remains of skilled and functional service.

    Plunket services were good when our kids were little. The Plunket Nurse was helpful and caring.

    Err, no, you had a philosophy of "well-child" support. There was very little in the way of skill or function, and Plunket hasn't had any real role except weighing, measuring and telling people they're doing it wrong since the '60s.

    Then what ethos would you have it have?

    Build it up dude, make it part of the solution rather than the problem

    Hmmm. My experience of them was largely one of a helpfull and competent body of health professionals. No doubt the service varies with the local personnel.

    A black market in the antidote would develope an we'd see raids on gang houses for selling it to the pheasants on TV every thursday night on One

    Plus other things, like state controlled breeding,,,that's some scary shit.

    Yeah I know, but Drew blinged me for being too sensible so thought I should throw out something a little less so.....

    Err...No.

    Our first child was 7 weeks premature and after the month in hospital, Plunket was a lifeline for us. Phone help at 3 am.
