    i just rang centre link

    a single mother can get the following depending on the age of the child and maintenance payments
    but at a maximum they with zero maintenance from the father
    you are looking at

    parenting payment - $611 per fortnight

    tax A - up $208 per child per fortnight
    tax B - up $136 per child per fortnight

    so do the maths

    9 kids
    parent payment = $611
    tax a = 9 x $208 or $1872(maximum)
    tax b = 9 x $136 or $1224 (maximum)

    TOTAL = $3,707

    $96,382 per year
    or $1853
    or about $185 per person per week

    no wonder she doesn't want to go back to sudan.
