At the very least every measure like this that reduces the responsibility of an individual to make their own life choices & creates a dependent individual.  Over time this increasing regulation of personal life and action will reduce us to adults with childlike levels of capability to decide courses of action for ourselves.  Again the nanny state grows in Australia!
