“The fundamental decision is that this Government in the next term of parliament will put this very important question to the people for their decision,” Mr Abbott said yesterday.

It is expected that the cabinet will discuss the timing of the plebiscite this evening.

5. Mother banned from IVF because of the way she treats her existing children.

A woman from Victoria has been banned from undergoing fertility treatment because of her poor record caring for four children to several fathers reports News Limited.

A hearing before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal was presented evidence that the woman, aged in her 40s, had verbally abused her children, telling one son he was a ‘smart alec’ and he’d grow up to be a ‘woman beater’, calling another a ‘bastard’ and smacking them.

At various times in recent years child protection authorities had removed the four children from her custody.

An official panel denied the couple the right to undergo fertility treatment – which they then took to an appeal before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

In a decision published late last week, VCAT said there were “too many potential risks to the health and wellbeing of a child born to the applicants.”

The tribunal found there was a “long history of substantiated concerns” recorded against her, ­including physical and emotional abuse, and medical and environmental neglect.”

At one stage the tribunal heard, she left her young son at home in charge of younger siblings, she also refused to sign permission slips for school, and had no beds at times in her home for the children.

“Even allowing for a degree of overzealous attention on the part of the department, the nature and extent of the reports, which have also originated from the children’s school and attention from police, are serious and consistent,” the tribunal found.

News Limited report that the couple’s last child died of SIDS and the grief stricken mother carried the baby’s ashes with her.

The tribunal ruled “In the tribunal’s view … there are significant and continuing risks to the welfare and interests of a child to be born to the applicants by means of ART (assisted reproductive technology) and at this stage, the tribunal cannot be satisfied that it is in the best interests of a child to be born for such treatment procedure to be made available.”

6. Australia wins World Cup Netball.

The Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander said this win was a greater achievement.

“There is nothing harder in sport than being able to repeat success. Not only that, at a World Cup that was enormously difficult at home, it actually is harder,’’ she said.

“This World Cup has shown how competitive, particularly the top four are.

7. Victoria joins NSW in no-jab-no-play policy.

The legislation shuts a loophole that would have allowed parents to get out of new requirements if they were “conscientious objectors”.

From January 1, kindergartens and childcare centres will only be allowed to enroll non-vaccinated children if they have a doctor’s certificate for a serious medical issue such as an allergy reports The Herald Sun.

Health Minister Jill Hennessy said it was necessary legislation because “vaccinations save lives”.

“It is simply irresponsible for people to ignore the science and choose not to vaccinate their child,”

“The choice of one parent not to vaccinate their child puts other children at risk of serious or potentially life-threatening illnesses.”

The new rules will apply to more than 260,000 children in early childhood services.

8. Pete Evans Paleo book out later this year.

Speaking on Sunday Night last night Evans says a print version of Bubba Yum Yum: The Paleo Way, for New Mums, Babies and Toddlers will be ready by the end of the year.

“The delay was our publisher got nervous,” Evans said.

“They were nervous at how the big retailers would respond to negative publicity.

“This recipe has been in print, in publication, for over 20 years, in America.

“I think it’s sold a million copies and never once was there any issue with it. There’s no recorded case of harm from that one recipe.”

9. Fathers urged to take parental leave to help close the pay gap.

A report has shown that fathers who take parental leave are 20% more likely to still be getting up during the night. The data from the first annual United Nation’s State of the World’s Fathers report shows dads who take parental leave are 20 per cent more likely to still be getting up during the night.

Chief executive of the Diversity Council of Australia Lisa Annese told News Limited that men must step up to the plate and take paternity leave if the gender pay gap is to be narrowed.

“The road to equality is littered with men taking parental leave,” Ms Annese said.

“Gender equality at work will never happen until we get gender equality at home,”

“That has to start from the first year of a child’s life, and that means having workplaces and a society that encourages men to take decent amounts of time off to participate in child rearing,” she said.

10. Bear Grylls calls for children to be exposed to more risk.

A week after Bear Grylls was criticised for leaving his 11- year old son alone on rocks in the sea the TV action man has written an opinion piece for The Times saying that children needed to take more risks in life.

“When we try to strip our kids’ world of risk we do them a gross disservice. We teach them nothing about handling life.” He wrote.

“All children have a right to adventure… these moments allow children to get excited about the possibilities the world has to offer.

“They teach independence, initiative, self-reliance and resourcefulness: skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives

“None of this, of course, should come at the expense of safety.”

Grylls was forced to point out that his son was wearing a life-jacket and was “safe at all times… and very happy”.

“Let’s not deceive ourselves into thinking that removing risk makes our children ‘safe’. It doesn’t.

“Every adventure comes with risk. Otherwise it wouldn’t be an adventure.

“Being vigilant and managing risk is not the same as wrapping your kids in cotton wool. It is about common sense.

“I believe it is fundamentally unfair to put children in a holding pen until they are 18.”
