| Perhaps the form of "vouchers" rather then money would help solve the problem of who is getting what unnecessarily or otherwise? Vouchers to help cover medical expenses, contribute towards school fees, help single parents who have had partner's walk out and left them holding the baby (pardon the pun) etc? This would ensure money is being spent on the kids as it should be and not being blown on luxuries or, in some cases, being spent on alcohol, drugs or gambling while the kids don't see a cent. |

Why the governments are not providing the cash to people in a form of stamps or cards that are expired after let's say 6 month. The cards receivers which are the people will have to buy something using those cards and within this time period, that way the money given by the government will guaranteed to go back to the economy and stimulus it and not wasted on gambling or paying debts.
I don't understand why it is not done already here in Australia they have already wasted $4b and now more will be wasted without this kind of system.
I would save the money if I could and I'm sure many more will do the same, so without this kind of system my friends it will fail!!! |

"It wasn't my choice that my partner or 3 years decided 'fatherhood' wasn't for him."
So you discussed this thuroughly BEFORE you had sex? If you treat it like a toy, you get what you deserve kiddies.
Call it old fashioned or whatever you want. But if you want to find out if your boyfriend is grown up enough to handle being a daddy, why not find out if he is grown up enough to be a husband first? |

| Why are so many people judging? I'm 19 years old, 36 weeks pregnant, and will be a single parent. It wasn't my choice that my partner or 3 years decided 'fatherhood' wasn't for him. Instead he leaves me pregnan tto raise a child. My one off payment WON'T be going on plasmas or cars, instead it'll be bills and debt that has racked up, because I haven't been able to work. Let me tell you, when you live on only so much a fortnight, and budget out carefully, every little bit helps, even if it is a one off payment, handed out by the government. People get off your high horses and realise that the good half of the world doesn't waste the money on plasmas and cars. |

"I have five kids (one with health problems), a low wage and a responsibility-shirking ex-wife. Love kids. I'm probably going to have a couple more."
Ever heard of living beyond your means?
If you love kids that much become a school teacher.
Why should I hand out more money to you because you have an addiction?
This country is a joke and no wonder people are pissed off.
Times will changed.
People tax rates can drop as long as this generous welfare handout ceases |

| I have five kids (one with health problems), a low wage and a responsibility-shirking ex-wife. Love kids. I'm probably going to have a couple more. And it's not for the government handout (anyone who has a kid to get their hands on that little nestegg hasn't done their math). I totally agree that sometimes it seems like money is being thrown at me by the government. But at the end of the year it's all spent on education, clothes, activities and the like. And I don't own a plasma, a flash car or go on fancy holidays. I'm sure it's easy to acuse the government of wasting money on families when you're childless or on big money. And while I agree we seem to have too much welfare in Australia it's hard to know where to make the cuts. Pensioners? Poor oldies are way under compensated for setting up the lifestyle the younger generations are enjoying as though they had a hand in developing it. (Good news is that past governments have done something to aleviate this in future through compulsary super). Unemployed? I sure don't want to do away with that safety net in case I ever need it, particularly in these uncertain times. Australia, through greed more than anything I'd say, has built up a financial system that really requires most families to have two incomes to support themselves - who can afford a house otherwise on $40,000 to $50,000? You can barely buy land. So anyway, my point is this - the government throws money at the financial system to give sales and spending a boost so that the wheels start turning again. If they gave it to middle aged bachelors it would probably be banked. At the end of the day, if you want to know that most of the money will be spent, there's no better people to give it to than people with kids. |

Right on lasty.
I too heard Rupert Murdochs lecture. It appeared as though the audience were very interested in what he had to say.
For years Australians have not faced up to their financial responsibilities and have adopted the Not My Fault - The Government owes me philosophy!!! Well it is time that Governments put a stop to these handouts, but it will not be our current government and I am sorry that this country is on its way down the gurgler.
I note that the govt is to introduce compulsory unionism in universities, something that the previous govt abolished. Also I note with interest that although Work Choices have been abolished the Rudd govt is quite keen on introducing a scheme whereby skillful school teachers are to be rewarded with higher wages, diverting from their own policy of treating all employees as equal (collective bargaining). Looks to me as though their left hand doesnt know what their right hand is doing. |

Rupert Murdoch nailed it on the head, this country relies on too much welfare and they think its their god given right to suck it.
I believe there should be a safety net to catch those that are on struggle street.
Encouraging unmarried mothers with $5000 is ludicrous.
With divorce cases there are two sides of the argument and one parent normally suffers more.
They should be entitled to a cheap Govt assisted LOAN to get them through trouble times not handouts.
$100 billion goes in welfare handouts each year.
A country of 20 million people cannot afford this amount. |

It is quite clear that your beef is with your ex-husband as apparently you are not receiving the correct rate of financial assistance from your childrens father as reqired under the present law.
Should the facts of your case be as you say both your ex-husband and his brother-in-law are acting illegally and with this knowledge it is your responsibility to report this confidentially to the Taxation Department ph1800 060 062.
The Child Support Agency should also be informed of your claims.
I fully realise that dobbing people in has in the past been seen as un-Australian, but the bottom line is that your ex-husbands action is resulting in taxpayers contributing to the upkeep of your children at a greater rate than necessary. Just think of it this way....If you are aware that someone else had committed a serious offence I am sure that you would report it to the authorities, and just because in this case it happens to be your ex-husband you MUST act in a similar manner to force your childrens father to support his children as required by law.
I have children from two prior marriages and have gained the respect of all four of my mature aged children as I always met my obligation to them whilst they were minors.
Good luck to you acahill and I hope that you consider my comments and act responsibly. |

Yes I agree, I did choose to have my children, but here is what I did not have the choice to do.
I did not have the choice of my childrens father walking out on us because he decided that this is what he didn't want after 10 years. . . I did not choose to be left with all of the bills and he not contribute to any bill after his leaving. . . I didn't choose for him to pay $47 per week for three children because he gets payed under the table by his brother in-law.
So here is the way I see this so call hand out. It is in natural fact the money that he as 'one of the tax paying public' owes me for raising our children which, he also choose to bring in to this world but no longer wants financial or personal responsability for.
You see the money coming out of your pocket. . .I see it coming out of his pocket and back into mine where it can be spent on our children responsibly... |

People have children by choice.
Stop whinging kelliedolton and accept that it should be the parents responsibility to meet the costs involved in raising their children and NOT the taxpayer. After all the Government has no money of its own, it comes from the taxpaying public.
Yes I have raised four children to adulthood, had all sorts of health problems along the way but unlike you did not expect any handouts from other taxpayers.
Reply to kelliedolton who said:
I for one am a sole parent of two beautiful children who happen to have 5 diagnoses between them they both have major learning problems, many may not realize that tutoring costs $40 per hour, they also both have ligament laxity in their ankles hence they need to wear leather shoes with laces to support their ankles these usually start at around $60 per pair and of course being on kids feet they don't last all year like some would expect.
Than there is their medication for their ADHD and yes whilst i may pay the PBS price for scripts it still adds up. I also take both children to Royal Far West Children's Medical Centre at Manly Twice per year to have them assessed for a multitude of disorders, and yes whilst i may receive assistance in the form of rail vouchers for these trips there are still costs involved, While all this is going on there are still the normal living expenses to keep up with so the list gos on I for one welcome any assistance the government can give me to assist. |
