LOL. I hear this one all the time from my mates. That's how employed people think. Put that on the business. The business takes care of everything right? Who makes the money? The business or people working for it? In your example the partner will generate enough income to pay her a wage and pay group tax. So it's still money put in the system.

Ideally there should be one. Like sick leave.

It looks like I'll be means tested out of a 30% private health insurance rebate, which a previous LNP government essentially forced me to take out (the private health insurance, I was happy to pay more to Medicare, but no I have to prop up some private health insurance company). Now someone can get paid parental leave without any sort of means testing?

Too early to tell what they'll deliver on their promises. They're all pollies. They have a huge baggage to deal with now. Give them time. We'll see where it's all heading. Cutting spendings is good. For a little while until the water clears.

I know that but I pointed out faster Internet is not a necessity right now. Some people in the bush have septic tanks and are not linked to the grid. That's what I meant. I don't expect you to pick up my s||t.
