single mums turn to brothels and stripping, page-142

Although the thread header is a bit 'over the top',
I gathered that this is the reason why they are seeking added forms of income.



"The majority have been shifted onto the Newstart unemployment allowance when their youngest child turns eight.

More than 60,000 single parents now receive between $60 to $100 a week less under entitlement changes."




When the youngest child turns 8, go and get a job!

There is a married couple in my street in the same situation.
The mother has to now get a job.


What would the average worker do if their work hours or payrate were cut.

Wouldn't cry 'foul', I've been here 8 years, and now I have to turn to prostitution.
They'd get a JOB, or find some other way of making ends meet.

Very true.

Then there is also an element of young women that DELIBERATELY put themselves in this situation!!!!!!!!
Wholly and soley for the cash benefits, no doubt with no idea of just how much it really costs to bring a child up.
But, hey, the 'baby bonus' is great!
