your point is flawed. Just because you dont have kids put yourself in someone else's shoes who may have say 3 or 4, and on one income of 150k.
I bet you didn't hand back the $900 stimulus the government handed you? Of course not well you should because as you say you dont need handouts well last time i checked that was a pretty big handout to a lot of people that didnt need it.
Arggh the $900 stimulus handout = the first time I have ever received anything from the govt - fact. And what did we do with it, we got some work done at our house that cost a bit more than $900, so $900 I got end up going out the door giving a tradie some work, exactly what the stimulus package was for I would have thought - keepng the economy moving
Income of 150k net 100k and a 350k Loan and with the added cost of living(school fees etc) yet you think that family doesnt deserve a baby bonus. Give me a spell thats ridiculous but its okay to spend $400 for old people who most would be happier with a LCD tv.
You are correct I don't think they deserve a baby bonus, to be honest I don't agree with the baby bonus for anyone - it should never have been introduced. As I said if you cannot afford something then you don't get it
Your argument is flawed as well. A family with 2-3 kids on $150k with another on the way; simply if they cannot afford to have a 3rd kid they shouldn't be having one. End of story. A baby bonus shouldn't be the incentive to pop another kid out that you cannot afford to look after.
The only argument you seem to constantly bring up is these people with the big 650k mortgages who are now crying poor.
That's because they are and they are bleating that these handouts are their right.
Welfare is for people who need it.
Pensioners are the prime example. They are supposed to manage on less than $450 a week which by my reckoning is a lot less than $150k a year? Why don't they get more? They certainly deserve it
But unfortunately they miss out becuase we have to fund all these other benefits that people earning a resonable wage bleat they are "entitled to"
Again you are putting everyone in that small basket. I know a bloke who is about 40 ish who is on a descent wicket and is struggling badly living in Mernda or somewhere close to there.
He has 3 kids and his wife cannot work due to health but no according to some doesnt deserve a free kick here or there
On the contrary daniel and depending on what you class a "decent wicket" then he may deserve something especially if his wife can't work.
But it all comes back to what's a decent wicket? $50k, $80k $120k or $150k?
