never understood the Baby Bonus as a financial incentive
i had a mate whos GF was a social worker at the time, talking to her one night she said she was overwhelmed by women who'd been forced into having a kid so their partner could collect the $5K
it was an appalling piece of legislation.
it doesn't matter what, when. women can self determine and have control of thier own money and careers they mostly chose to have 2 kids or less. 2.1 is a stable population.
fuck, expanding populations, stupidest of ideas (no i don't mean anti-migration)
