Going from 2.19 per cent to 5.29 per cent on her loan, her mortgage payments now take up 68 per cent of her main income as she makes $35,000 as a teacher aide specialist.
Even though she gets child support payments, she still feels the financial pressure from having enough to pay the bills.“If this was just for one year, I'd be okay because you could suck it up to one year but this is like forever now so that's changed everything. “NCSMC CEO Terese Edwards says, “There's a lot of different forces that come together in a sole parent family, and they're not very kind at the moment.
“I had three jobs for about two months. I was getting very anxious, irritable, and angry so I gave away [one of my jobs],” she says.“I did it with the expectation of earning more and being able to take my son to football or let my daughter travel, not with the expectation of interest rates going up as high as they did,” she says.
"As people's budgets become tighter, we find that one of the first things people cut is their insurances," she says.As a business analyst, Chloe makes $98,000 a year before tax but being the sole carer to two young children since birth makes all the difference.Her monthly repayments on her mortgage have gone up by $700 since she locked in a loan on a variable rate in April so she took drastic measures to stay on top of payments.
Chloe could only afford to take her children to the Royal Melbourne show when entry was made free in the evening.
ASK ALBO
Stop breeding? The abc staff give them some of their fat pay checks?
There are a lot of future prime ministers out there
It’s not only single women struggling I’m a 55 year old male and struggling. But thanks everyone that Voted Labor .
When you replace the man with government, and incentivise divorce this is what you get. Single mothers should've made better life choices. But they didn't because women for some reason get a free pass on consequences for their actions.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 🦾yay for feminism! 🦾
Pity marriage has kicked the bucket.
Nor well.
Government support pay.ents and Child support payments. That's how. They have oreoney than the ex partners doing the jobs.
By voting the lnp out
There doing ok with increase child support payments and 3/4 dads paying child support 2/2 dads going through court to see there children so dads left broke to,, Question is why so many parents choosing to be single or splitting can not always blame male violence !!
We do the best we can with what we earn with hope our children have a better future than their parents ☺️.
Im not, im back at my parents and i hate it.
GVG1 They’re probably overall, NOt
Where are the fathers?
I guess I’m the 1 in 5 and I’m not. Just finished paying over $30,000 in legal fees with an estimated $135,000 to go, just to defend against a challenge to final orders, that the other party is getting paid for by legal aid. How about giving a voice to me & others like me?
Blame Labour and the Green agenda for that
Most women aren't single parents and get equal wages these days so they should be doing fine
So , where are the fathers ? Too many are dodging child support !
They're not unless they're aboriginal.
By receiving child support from the 4 out of those 5 who are single fathers.
Women never learn consequences for their behaviour and still practice ‘limit testing’ as adults the way children do. So once pregnant they limit test with the father testing the power than a mum governing rights to his child has, this causes the relationship to end = single mums
Children deserve good parenting … wear contraception until you’re ready to live up to the expectation.
Nothing is FREE. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S FREE BENEFITS. Funny that there has been such a huge rise in the number of single parents since BENEFITS began in the 70s?
Nobody in any Govt cares about single women over 55 who might even be working but have little super, try to pay house, try to pay bills. No Govt help ever for them. Forgotten battlers.
Any chance abc could delve into Child Support avoidance by many wealthy fathers. I escaped my abusive ex (worth $60million hidden in family trust) and did not get a cent of child support in 20 years.
Fact Check: FALSE It takes a mother and a father to make a child. There are close to equal numbers of single mothers and fathers. Abcbias leftisim
You should ask the fathers. They’re the ones who’re systematically alienated by mothers to increase their child support.
As long as the CEOs like Alan Joyce get paid millions , that’s the main thing 🤬
Single parent families are toxic to society. It’s so simple, if you can’t work your crap out with your partner, then you don’t have the mental or emotional fortitude to raise children.
Ask this to AlboMP as he is driving cost of living up and not doing anything about it
Living with their harassed parents.😅
Family units work. Takes the pressure off the community to foot the bill. Divorce is needed in certain cases, but have we gone too far?
The likes of your organisation doing a great job in destroying relationships and undermining the importance of fathers in children's lives and you should and must be condemned for your misandry. Simply evil
The government apparently has increased Centrelink by $22 a fortnight and then increased their own salaries by $90,000 per year.
What about the 24 million other Australians?
Covid lockdowns didn't help.
Single parent families are bad for children and society. America is finally recognising this.
Marriage is unsafe for men.
Men, think hard before marriage!
They are pretty much the ONLY ones who should get any subsides for child care , but Labor is making the poor help wealthy double income families with their babysitting so they can increase their wealth .
Degrading marriage and getting single women on welfare has done wonders for society. Happy families, well-behaved youths. Thank you for contributing, their ABC 👏
That is a very large percentage of the population as it pertains to parenting.
If they kept their legs shut, it wouldn't be an issue.
This will become the norm. Feminism has changed marriage to a point it’s not worth it for men anymore. Definition of DV has increased to become a coercive way to control men. A simple argument is DV! Men don’t want to give the govt control over their assets Why lose your freedom!
$275 was the amount of power bill reduction we were promised. How do you think we like being lied to?
Solution, find another man and get married
