Poll: Should parents be fined if their children drop out of school?
The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.
Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

-
38.8% No - it's not the parents' choice
