Baby Bonus V's Paid Maternity

[Pandora]

Obviously this doesnt help with b/f, but if they extended it to either parent staying home, we *could* afford DH to, but not me.
Unfortunately for families where the mum is the main income earner, there are often limited options available other than to return to work, and I dont think I should have to choose between a job and a family.
For me, having the baby bonus paid fortnightly will just make it easier for me to spend it before I need to. We will be using it so that I can take an additional month off work for maternity leave.
