As you've left out the relevant information trying to make some point or other - we have to assume the employer is paying for it. Don't compare us to any other nation unless you're prepared to provide all the facts. If you can't supply those - then your posts are irrelevant. It's not up to the reader to research your scanty information.

Can't help yourself can you... if you really wanted to know you'd do what I do... look it up. :roll:

I've made the point I wanted to make... that is that there are other PPL that are as generous if not more a fact the ALP and Greens have avoided to concede.

I have BTW included a link which provides information... just couldn't be bothered looking eh. :roll

I am totaly oposed to the state funding peoples procreation choices. Do the math before you have kids and accept that a cost of having kids is a loss of wages. Tax dollars can go toward far more appropriate things.

Or, parents could choose to view it as an investment.

How does that work Sappho, especially if a woman is earning nothing like $150,000 pa?
