You all may have noticed my location listed as 'The Nanny State'. HERE (http://finance.ninemsn.com.au/newsbusiness/aap/8232392/easter-egg-hunts-could-mean-fines-for-childcare-centres) is another example why Victoria's PC obsession has gone too far.

Can't hunt for Easter eggs anymore?
No problem, break out the prayer rug instead. :hihi:

In all fairness, it does say...


They could also be fined if children were required to take part in cultural activities such as Easter egg hunts or Christmas tree decorating.


That implies that as long as a child has the option to not take part, all is OK. However, it goes on to say...


Draft regulations for the legislation reveal workers could be fined $2000 for "separating" children.


So how do you allow a child to not take part in say... an Easter egg hunt, but not "separate" them from a group?

Usless law makers!
