    Ridiculous.

    Its is up to couples to have children if they can afford it. Not for everyone else to pay for it. We dont need more people. Really we dont.

    This is the biggest baby bonus there is. Its a taxpayer handout effectively of half the average annual salary. Its like upping the baby bonus from $5,000 to $30,000.

    I can just see new businesses hiring 17 year old girls for a day for $100,000 and sending them home the next day to get pregnant. Then get them to rebate you 20% of their paid maternity leave as a backhander.

    More than 2 kids already, you need to start paying more tax not get a handout.
