    A call to ban backyard pools in Australia has caused outrage on social media.

    Jo Abi, a regular writer for ivillage.com.au, said that if swimming pools were banned children’s lives wouldn’t be put “at risk”.

    “The reason I started thinking about the banning of backyard pools was because February is the month in which most children drown and we are coming up to that,” Mrs Abi said. [… ]

    But people commenting on Facebook disagreed with Mrs Abi, saying that everyone should have the right to enjoy a backyard swimming pool.

    “Looks like Australia is fast becoming the unlucky country,” Sharon Anderson said.

    “People have a right to enjoy their life and if having a pool is one of them, then so be it. We have owned property with pools, but ours was always fenced properly, even before the laws were in place.”
