True though that it will greatly incentivize single mums to have additional children under 8 as long as they can reproduce. Not hard to find any number of willing drongos to supply the sperm! Sorry but it is true. Many of these young women's boyfriends take their money for drugs.
It is a dumb idea. Cut the baby bonus for starters. Provide services for young mothers where they don't get to handle the cash and waste it on rubbish or their boyfriends habits.
Provide job training as early as possible. Do not cut weekly benefits to people living below the poverty line when there is a dearth of accommodation.
If young women realized they had to go to TAFE or other training it might disincentivize them to have babies. It is a messy situation but not solved by cutting their weekly income.
