Abbott considers subsidising nannies
Mar 25^th, 2012 at 10:34am

Is aimed at all the Aussie battlers who employ nannies?

Abbott considers subsidising nannies

Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has promised the Coalition will look into extending its childcare rebate to nannies if it wins government.

Mr Abbott says there needs to be greater flexibility in childcare to enable women to participate more fully in the workforce.

50 years ago women had husbands to provide (financial) security.
Nowadays they have the government to fulfil the same role. The problem is, the government is forever extending it's reach, digging deeper into ALL of our pckets, so we can pay these women to "have it all".

Paid parental leave is a dumb idea, but looks like a stroke of genius compared to this.
