Its coming up to federal election time and the current government has decided to start chucking money about. 2 new contraversial ones are $600 family bonus and $3000 baby bonus schemes.
Basically families with children get $600 for each child they have and women who have babies (starting yesterday) will receive $3000.
Personally I think its a bad idea, it gives a bad image to teenagers and will lead to people having babies just to have the money. Also is a blatant pre-election vote getting thingo. Even so I'll vote for them. I dont like the oppositions position on a number of things.
What do you think? Anything like this overseas?
