I get what you are saying, my problem is still that the people who are not having kids due to money, probably still wont because the money they are getting is not going to go that far. Where as the ones with the high income never had a concern anyway as they had the money to withstand a year off work anyway. There will be a part of the pay scale there where the maths will work out and some one could go from not affording children to affording children but I am not sure it is that big.

In any case it looks like we will get to find out if it works or not in the near future

Ah, but there is a direct inverse correlation between income and number of kids. And the research suggests it's higher income earners who put it off or have fewer kids for financial considerations. Yes they can afford the time off but they are less willing to give up the income than a lower income worker is.

They are still going to be giving up income at some stage...unless of course they actually do want to get back to work so bad that they drop the kids off at day care at 6 months old. So is it really going to entice them into kids?

And as for does it work, it will need a decade or so to start to reverse trends in birth rates.

If you see a sudden uptake in women in middle class jobs falling pregnant it will give you some idea if it worked or not

so coalition just said there will major cutbacks on overseas foreign aid dollars spent....bout bloody time! look after the people here and the veterans and pensioners who got this country along through their working life and taxes and now some cant even afford the rising cost of electricity!! sorry to those that have to live in 3rd world and attrocious circumstances but its time to focus on our country that needs attention.

I certainly appreciate what I have and get in life but we work hard for these things and contriute to the tax system accordingly to help this country and citizens.

Random occurrence could be a spike in the numbers for other reason. Needs to be a prolonged increase to have validity.

Thats why i said SOME indication. I have a science degree, I am all for stupid amounts of evidence before confirming something lol.

I have voted now, so I can go back to giving no f**ks

So do you work somewhere in the field of science? Just for interests sake, not having a go...

I have 2 friends with science degrees, both make less than the quoted $72k average, and both are lab supervisors. 1 at a uni and the other at a very large pharma co.

I work in environmental management, I would never work in a lab in a million years for the very reason you mention there, terrible pay

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
