Julia Gillard vs teenage mothers
May 5th 2011 09:19
Julia Gillard has finally made one right move and is talking about introducing new rules in relation to welfare payments to young mums. About time someone thought about the taxpayers funding irresponsible teens and their babies!
There are 1100 teenage mothers in Queensland at the moment, 80% of which have not finished school and only 8% working. What about the other 92%, sitting back receiving welfare payments while taxpayers fund them from their hard-earned dollars?
I may have a hard view of teenage mothers but society has become too accepting of irresponsibility and that's what it is, it's irresponsible to have kids before you're grown up yourself and can support not only yourself but a child.
Under the plan, teenagers would have to go back to work or study after their child is 6 months old or face their welfare payments being cut.
About time Julia Gillard did something worthwhile!
