Speaker 2 (00:03):
Nation pub test today. The baby bonus? Does it pass
the PUB test? I remember when Peter Castelle put it
in in two thousand and four. He was doing the
macarena and he put the baby bonus in.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, how this would work.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Well, we're not going to be necessarily getting a new
baby bonus, but there's mounting pressure on treasure Jim Chalmers
to consider putting three thousand dollars in the pockets of
new parents to burst the booth to boost the birth rate. Already,
you'd still get the same benefits plus this new three.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We want kids, little losy kids week, the kids running
around the place, that's what we want.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Well, we have a declining birth rate and in the
future that means we won't have enough taxpayers and we'll
all be able to whack. So what do you think
the baby bonus? Does it past the PUB test?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yes, it does. Even the current situations where family tax
benefit helps families out there in need, where they are
starting to pay out mortgages, it's really really hard. So yes,
definitely passed the pub debt.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
In a time where people are struggling financially, they're going
to take more taxpayers money and just give us to people.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How about we do some tax reforms and insurance reforms.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Instead help everybody, so that's specific groups.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yes, it does pass the pub test. I got the
baby bonus and I had my children back in two
thousand and six, and it helps me imntally. The only
thing that's worrying is as long as they don't go
and spend it on TVs, fees, et cetera, and as
long as it's put to use for the the babylane.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I don't think it passed the pub test. I was
a beneficiary. I bought a big screen TV when we
got the baby bonus. And this is going to be controversial,
but I think if you're having a baby to get
three thousand dollars, you're not going to be a benefit
of the country. I think you're going to be a
welfare recipient.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I remember all those single mothers writing jet skis on
the harbor.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
But it's about creating future humans. It's not about what
you spend the money on now. It's about getting children
into the into the communities rather than what you're buying
with it. Yeah, it's building this country, building this country
in this country,
