The national rate of conscientious objection has fallen by 0.09 percent since last quarter (from 1.61 percent in March 2015 to 1.52 percent in June 2015). The number of conscientious objectors has fallen by over 5000 since December 2014 to a new low of 34,063.
The figures are significant because the No Jab No Pay measures were announced by Tony Abbott in April, suggesting the risk of losing family payments has made many parents to vaccinate their children in NSW.
