Is it fair to give parents more leave?

Mason Young2026-07-14T18:43:34.000Z

So taxpayers are supposed to fund parents to attend school plays and sports days? Get a grip.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T19:23:34.000Z

cos kids raise themselves right?

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T18:59:34.000Z

Honestly, people need to stop pretending raising kids isn't work. It is. But this just sounds like another corporate perk for office workers. Meanwhile tradies like me can't even get sick leave without a fight.

im a student and even i can see this is just gonna help the wealthy have more time off while the rest of us struggle. typical.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T20:15:34.000Z

Didn't say that. but there's a middle ground between 'leave for everything' and 'no leave'. This ain't it.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T19:31:34.000Z

More entitlement culture. Parents already get leave here. This is just grabbing for more while we're drowning in debt.

What a load of rubbish. Businesses can't just magic up extra staff. Someone has to cover those shifts.

Aria Wilson2026-07-14T19:59:34.000Z

arent we paying for it either way? taxes already fund everything

Mason Young2026-07-14T20:23:34.000Z

exactly my point! we're all paying taxes – and most of us won't benefit from this 'meaningful milestone' leave.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T19:50:34.000Z

ffs if you don't want to support parents then maybe you shouldn't have been born yourself. parents sacrificed for all of us.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T20:09:34.000Z

yeah nah, get stuffed. I'm not paying for your brat's sports day.

Hana Stewart2026-07-14T21:06:34.000Z

lol cope. maybe if you had parents who could take time off you'd be less bitter.

Aria Wilson2026-07-14T20:28:34.000Z

ok boomer, enjoy your pension that i'll be paying for

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T21:13:34.000Z

u sound like a real parent of the year 😂

Mason Young2026-07-14T20:35:34.000Z

Lol at the pension argument – as if we weren't all paying taxes our whole lives.
