Parental Leave


If the punters want paid parental leave, why don't we have a HECS style system, where those who are going to take advantage of it opt in and then contribute through their tax. Then the rest of us, who don't have kids, don't have to fund, those who want kids, life style choices.

Personally, I'm happy for any slack in population to be filled through immigration. After all, there is no shortage of people on the planet, it is one of the planet's greatest problems, it's just distribution which seems to be in need of attention.
