Brendan Nelson's Baby Equality Plea

Brendan Nelson's classic baby equality plea to the Prime Minister:

"Every mother loves her baby, every baby is valued and Mr Rudd should value all babies equally. We should not live in Australia where Mr Rudd thinks that some babies are more valuable than others, it's very, very important that Mr Rudd understand that every mother loves her baby and this should be an Australia where all babies are equal."

I love babies!

So do dingoes!

OK, let's take on board your advise. Let's say that I am my wife earns $100,000 a year. You and your wife earns $25,000 a year. My baby should be made equal with your baby (all babies are equal Brendan). Thus, we need to redress the balance of available money to the baby. Thus you now need to be paid $75,000 so that your baby is now on an equal footing to my baby.

Doesn't work too well now, does it?

Seriously, this was a stunt - a bad one. Logic is obvious not Nelson's strong point.

I can't stop laughing at this. I can't remember the context of it but it comes off as a joke now, played deadpan..

Oh the baby!

Define "same job". Truly, if you are on $150,000 a year combined income you don't NEED the baby bonus.
