good one mrgrizz, made me laugh out loud, always appreciated. Comedy thread of the day - thanks. 

[*mrgrizz*]

no i am serious.

has always been a bone of contention for me.

why should i be paying for your kids. should be no FTB A, FTB B, baby bonus, paid parental leave and what ever else that is able to be collected

[imastawka]

 Will you be a self-funded retiree?  Paying your own medical expenses?

Will you be claiming pensioner rebates  on rates,  car rego, utilities?

The list goes on.   Everybody pays for everybody.

Yes it doesn't affect us in any major way, either Grizz. Maybe that's just because wer'e ordinary Australians. Paying an extra $7 to visit the GP perhaps is a bit  hum ha.

Then again we don't have kids. Then again we don't get any family benefits either.

Well that is true I suppose. You won't be having to pay for lower and average earners to have kids. 

But you seem to have forgotten that you will now be paying for rich women to have kids.

I know who I would prefer my money to go to...

they may not be there or qualified to give you the services you expect and need when you want to use them

expect the quality of service you may wish for to go downhill
