you make me laugh what your saying is we had no ferals before the baby bonus..lol
come on..one of my girls got the baby bonus...and shes anything but a feral.. as you refer to them...
I didn't say we didn't have ferals before the baby bonus was introduced and I'm not saying all those who collected this bonanza are feral, but the baby bonus definitely increased the breeding habits of those who wanted the $5,000 only for their bad habits. Many of them would have headed to the nearest abortion clinic or used protection if they didn't think there was a pot of gold as a reward for the birth.
In my area there are a huge number of young single women with up to 5 children all under 10, with a string of different fathers. With the added bonus of subsidised or public housing, they are better off than the average worker - so why bother working?
If you want children - then let the parents provide for them - not the government.
If we had the infrastructure in place to cope with this second baby boom - perhaps parents would care a little more for their kids. For the last decade - they've just been spat out like baby rabbits.
so who is responsible for the PAID MATERNITY LEAVE??... .if that doesnt bring out more ferals I dont know what will..
you sound as if you live in a tough place....not Nimbin is it?? just kidding..
you sound very bitter about something..they
would have headed to the abortion clinic if not for the $5000....dont forget with howard it was $3000 wasnt it?..... any way I do think even the ferals would by now have woken up it doesnt go far anyway...and it takes more than $5000 to bring up a child..
plus they dont get a lump sum anymore..
