    Family Tax Benefit B to be scrapped?

    WYSIWYG - I agree with your comments about childcare. The one recommendation that did stand out to me as being well-advised (and seems to have a good evidence-base) is the idea of tying the paid parental leave to the average wage & then plowing the PPL savings into expanding childcare options. This is the sort of measure that does increase workforce participation for parents, especially mothers, and so it makes sense economically as well as socially.

    The copayment s, family tax and childcare changes will affect us. I already don't go to the doctor as mine doesn't bulk bill every visit and I can't afford $30 X2 for a referral for a blood test then to get the results.
    My medical issue isn't life threatening, I just get to randomly react to food/drink.
