“Today we are announcing that the seasonal flu vaccine will be available free of charge to more than two million extra Australians, particularly pregnant women and indigenous Australians,” Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon told Channel 9.
Previously, just under 3 million people aged 65 and over were entitled to free flu vaccine. Now that all Aboriginals and pregnant women are to receive free flu vaccine shots, this will bring the number up to about 4.5 million receiving the vaccine.
The theory behind the Federal Government’s proposal is that indigenous people – rich, poor or otherwise – are more important to the nation than White people. White women only become worthy of saving after becoming pregnant, which is when politically correct assistance kicks in. According to the Federal Government, there is no politically correct excuse for assisting White men – rich, poor or otherwise.
