If a woman is earning a good wage/salary,she will be a Career woman with Business sense, and will be paying her fair share of tax.
Let's say she pays 30% tax plus 10% gst. = 40%.
So to receive 50%of her income in Maternity care will cost LNP 10% of her income in one half year, to produce future off springs that will not be Generations of dole recipients.
To me, to encourage smart, working women at all levels of income is a good investment on returns.
Abbott and Lnp will recover their investment in just over a year.
Australia will collect dividends when children join work force.
How come no one complains that Generations of single mums breeding single mums who collect welfare EVERY year, and ALL year, that don't produce nothing for the work force is OK.
Go and do a research on cattle breeders and see how much money and effort they spend on their breeders.
Abbott's Maternity leave is a step in the right direction to get Australia moving forward in productivity.
Abbott and LNP are investing in Australia's Future.
Rudd and Labor give handouts to invest in THEIR Future.
Big difference,
Rudd ,Labor and now Sarah Hanson Young can't talk themselves out of problems they behave themselves into.
