Senator Barlett,

Under a paid maternity leave system, other workers workload goes up, their salaries go down, profits of the company goes down and prices go up for goods and services.

@ALFIEAJAPAN I don't see why other workers' workloads would go up (and nor why their salaries would go down. As for prices going up, that's a matter for the company - you could say the same about all wage and salary expenses). The person on maternity leave would be covered for in the same way as anyone else on leave would be covered.

Unless you think there shouldn't be any form of leave for anyone because the profits of the company would go down.

Australia becomes a Marxist stronghold, Australia's shame.

Australian people's money is stolen to pay for someone else's kids, Australia's shame.

Australia creates economic conditions and uses social engineering to make it impossible to be a parent and not work, in order that the government can indoctrinate children early, and prevent them from having a good sense of morality and values, Australias shame.

Australia embraces the globalist vision of a communist New World Order, Australias shame

Australia is a cold, selfish thoughtless Country. This is why I am leaving. Norway sounds great.

The Capitalist ape men can have their big profits, but one day the people are going to wake up.

On the contrary. In countries like USA( where NWO rules!), there is no maternity leave. You have to come back to work in 6 weeks or you are kicked out like a stray dog. Wait, even stray dogs are given asylum. Babies are worthless is the NWO. Totally antihuman.

i think if they want paid leave then should have to save for it they get already get paid to much why should my tax pay for them to open there legs

Interesting I didn't know that. US has 6 weeks maternity leave, and in Canada, it is 1 year paid maternity leave! and also in Canada, if your wife doesn't work, husband can take 4 months maternity leave paid - however, there are certain conditions that have to be met.

Brestfeeding is essential for the baby's mental health. All women should be obligated to spend at least 6 months with their newborns BY LAW. In Europe we have 1 year of paid maternity.
