yes slav, $3k upon the birth of each child
it was part of a plan to encourage more people to have kids as our birthrate has fallen yadda yadda
obviously, paying people to have kids mainly encourages the trailer park mums to have LOTS of kids
Opti, I agree completely ... unfortunately it is a support for bush & for going to war - but I think it shows how poorly anti war campaigners handled THEIR chance at swaying the publics thinking.
While on one side they are screaming 'no war' on the other its 'fuck i hope interest rates don't go up so i'll vote for the war guy anyway'. People are selfish - we'll put signs in our windows saying 'no war' but we won't accept paying a few hundred more a month to own a house, even if it means supporting the war they spoke against ... blah blah people suck LOL
ye gads, see why i rather not get started on politics
Anyway ... give me australia under any government over any other country in the world. Even australia at its worst still has free healthcare, clean streets and some of the most beautiful places in the world.
We aint called the lucky country for nuttin
