Thumbs up for Comrade Abbott's first step for cradle to grave welfare for everyone.

Indeed.

However, the ALP are doing it in the tradition of the welfare state.

Abbott is doing it in the tradition of conservative misogyny, wanting to keep women out of the workforce.  If you believe anything else, you are even more gullible than everyone says you are.

Does the levy cover the full cost? Isn't there a limit on how long the levy will be collected?

And you're not alone.

Abbott would welcome your comment.

We the taxpayer a scheduled to take over funding when the budget gets back to surplus.

In January that was by Sept 14
In March that was by Sept 16
In Early August that was by EOFY 16/17
Last week its was within 10 years

So no business will always pay it.

As I said above, the Libs were quite openly advocating for far less women in the work force more than twenty years ago

But it's a risky ploy at this stage of the game

The Lima Declaration commenced destroying Australian production and employment back in 1975, when an initial 30% of Aussie jobs and manufacturing were sent overseas

Since then, that 30% has to be close to 75%

Labor and Libs are cognisant of the fact robotics will shave the last few remaining jobs to near nothing.  Just public servants and the service industry

Yes, there are women who have no intention of reproducing and who are excellent employees.  They shouldn't be forced from the workplace by policies which terrify employers into rejecting female applicants/employees

Aussies aren't stupid.  Overwhelmingly, women head single-parent households.  Of course they'd like to stay at home to raise their children.  But the easy-divorce laws which also came into effect in the mid-70s mean many men tire of supporting a family and desert their wives to raise and support the children alone.  All part of the Zionist attack on the vital family-unit

There are women who have to work, even though they'd far rather not.  Abbott's policy does a favour for whom, exactly -- the entitlement-brigade who believe that going to bed and ending up pregnant is everyone else's responsibility ?

There are at least two reasons I won't vote Liberals (a) their disgusting betrayal, corruption and cowardice re: Schapelle Corby and (2) the paid parental leave policy

There are hundreds of reasons I won't be voting Labor
