Is it fair to give working parents more leave?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T19:50:28.000Z

Yeah nah, this is just another excuse for parents to milk the system. I didn't get extra leave and I turned out fine 🙄

Morgan Lee2026-07-14T20:11:28.000Z

me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids 😂

As a parent, I'd kill for this. School holidays are a nightmare and annual leave just doesn't cut it. Good on Dissh for trying.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T21:08:28.000Z

hoo. Life's not fair. Maybe don't have kids if you can't handle the juggle?

Ella Thompson2026-07-14T20:32:28.000Z

ffs here we go again. What about people who choose not to have kids? We just get to cover for everyone else's 'family commitments'?

Reese Morgan2026-07-14T21:09:28.000Z

one's forcing you to cover anything. But yeah, it's always 'us vs them' with you people.

Bloody hell, an extra two weeks? That's like my whole annual leave. Must be nice to work for a company that actually gives a damn.

Sky Murphy2026-07-14T21:19:28.000Z

would be great if the govt actually supported this instead of just talking about it. Dissh is based in Aus, we'll never see this here lol

Mason Young2026-07-14T21:34:28.000Z

Facts. Our last PM had kids and still did nothing. All talk.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T21:52:28.000Z

All I see is more reasons for employers to avoid hiring parents. Great intentions, shitty outcome.

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T22:06:28.000Z

Nah get stuffed, we already have it good here with 26 weeks paid parental. This is just corporate virtue signalling.
