Here is some more police state bullshit to get a national DNA database up and running an official one that is. Once again the child has no say about what is taken from or done to them.

Babies should be DNA tested at birth to ensure men are not wrongly named as a child’s father, a men’s rights group says.

Mothers are being made to pay back money to men they wrongly claim fathered their children under changes to child support laws, The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

The paper says 18 men cleared by DNA testing have sought to get money paid through the federal Child Support Agency returned to them.

According to the documents obtained through a freedom of information request, orders for $171,567 have been made against mothers so far, while 300 men have been cleared of being fathers.

Men’s Rights Agency director Reg Price says a DNA test at birth would stop men being wrongly identified as the father of a child.

“We believe that it should be done at birth - they do a blood test now and it would be quite simple to do it at that time,” he told Fairfax Radio Network.

“It is absolutely dreadful what is going on out there, and it is quite easy to fix with a test at birth.”

Mr Price said current laws made it difficult and costly for men to get permission for a DNA test, with court action often necessary.

“The big problem is the cost involved,” he said.

“If (a woman) says that is the case (that they are the father), then a man has to go to court to get permission (for the DNA test).”
