absolutely insane what they charge for. we gotta push this one 🥲

Stuff2026-07-02T00:04:01.000Z

especially when they can just wrap it into some other budget line. no excuse

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T00:25:01.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, why should we have to pay to register a death that's already traumatic enough

Stuff2026-07-02T00:31:01.000Z

as if grieving families need another bill on top of everything else. bloody government at it again

Finn Walker2026-07-02T00:49:01.000Z

yeah nah, $33 is cheap but it's still a fee for a tragedy. just wrong

Jordan Bell2026-07-02T00:38:01.000Z

honestly, how is this even a thing. stillbirth registration fees should be zero, full stop.

pretty sure it's only like $33 but still, it's the principle. waive it ffs

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T01:05:01.000Z

not about the money, it's about not kicking people when they're down

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T01:02:01.000Z

make it free. any politician who disagrees can get in the bin

Sage Lawson2026-07-02T01:32:01.000Z

agreed, it's a kick in the guts. let's hope common sense wins

Jordan Bell2026-07-02T01:12:01.000Z

save a seat for 'em at the next election
