An additional $1.7 billion is not nothing. But it’s not everything. At some point we will need to entirely rethink our early learning and child care system. Why not make it today? Georgie Dent is executive director of The Parenthood, a community of 72,000 Australian parents and carers.
georgiedent Doesn't the decision to have children include future costs. Relying on others to subsidise their choice may not be a commonly held view. Past generations didn't expect it. 'I want to be employed but I want others to finance the care of my children and we need a third car'. !!!!
georgiedent Maybe people should rethink, can they afford to have children in the first place. If u can live on one wage while having children/child then don’t expect the government to support ur selfish ideas in the first place.
