Good move, they had a family on a current affair tonight complaining, they look like they eat enough each day to feed a boat full of refugees.

I think this will be a popular choice in where to make a cut.  I agree with it but I'm glad those that really need some help will still get some.

Bugger. I was planning on popping out a couple more. B-)

Well the idea of the Baby Bonus was to encourage population growth because of the aging population... so it was not that it was to pay you to have a child but to make it a bit more affordable to buy things that you needed, to encourage you to make a choice that you might have put off for financial reasons... 

BUT.. it just made young kids think that having a baby would be cheap and easy on the dole... 

Won't be a real problem.... 

Won't be a real problem....

The sales of big screen TVs and iPhones and acrylic nails and spray tans will most certainly be affected. Oh and piercings. Mustn't forget the piercings 😉 Oh and tattoos. Oops, I almost forgot hair extensions.

oh.. so I hear that Family Tax Benefit A will go up and you will get $1000 via that method when you have a kid... 

no real change then is it? 

One of the poor outcomes of the baby bonus was a huge increase in the price of baby essentials like cots and prams. I hope, for struggling families, the prices come back down... they probably will after a while because demand will decrease. More babies will have to sleep in boxes.

Somehow the govt will have to find a way to balance the ageing population and future skills shortage. Migration will have to increase?

Mums to be can go to gumtree instead Karen. lol

More babies will have to sleep in boxes.
