Families to pay less in childcare costs

In a cost-of-living crisis it seems the price of everything is going up, but in some good news, families will be paying less for childcare.

Over a million Australian families have children in some form of care and they pay among the highest fees in the world.

The government says some of that expense is being shaved down off the back of its increased subsidies.

How about creating a world where less families need daycare because 1 income is enough while kids are little?

umm, taxes and charges are going up to cover childcare costs.

For all us childless people - fmilies should subsidise our fuel bill for our 8 cylinder weekend burnout machines

People with kids should pay the FULL cost of someone looking after them. Asking other taxpayers to subside the cost of their kids is obscene.

Why are you privileged, first world people do dependent?

We have public schools, so why not public childcare

Why should I pay to take care of someone else’s children? They, I assume, chose to have them. Maybe they could skip the 60” flat screen TV. Public education is entirely different - there’s a social benefit from educating children whereas as the benefits from public childcare accrue to the individual families. When it became commonplace from the late 70s for women to work full time the argument was of the economic benefits of female participation in the labour force - personally I can’t imagine a world in which women did NOT choose to work full time. But they never talked about who would raise the children, how convenient was that. Now, by stealth, we have taxpayers paying for child rearing which is absurd. If people choose to have children, as I did, that’s wonderful, but if you can’t afford to do it you don’t have a right to effectively take other’s money to raise them. Australians are avaricious nowadays, they all want a house, 2 cars, a holiday house, and if they can’t afford a holiday house they want a caravan. If you can afford that you can afford to pay the majority of your childcare.

Invest in paying less childcare cost is smart. Long term benefit. Perhaps people wanna have more kids.
