What’s the difference between a working mum and a working dad? What a load of 💩

18% ?

. Good parenting saves large amounts of money in long term public health costs. It is time to value the work of parenting and caring instead of just spending the money downstream on building prisons and drug rehab facilities for those who didn’t have stable home environments. .

How ironic! Feminism told women they can have it all, and still be happy. Lie of the century.

Let's vote! What should women do?

Hang on a second. Women fought for decades for the right to work. Suffragettes and all that! Now you're saying it's too stressful!

What about working dads - is dads do just as much with kids these days

How can flexible work conditions really be the solution - a person working has to work certain hours to be paid a certain wage and be available to suit the job requirements which are not always flexible. And what about those who make work the highest priority by choice ?

Who on earth would want kids these days baffles me. The earth is already bursting at the seams. Its selfish imo

They should be stressed, and they should feel guilty - for adding more humans to this messed up planet. I’m sure the kids are going to thank them for that.

Dont work do much... Stay home with your kids, who the hell would want to choose work over that?

Cry me a fucking river

Having stable housing a 'pipe dream' for Australia's working poorAustralians believe that having a job will protect them from homelessness.

Whilst not optimal, many housing solutions like development projects for cheap ergonomic Tokyo like mini-abodes, land rezoning, low interest co-op first home loan schemes, pre-fab subterranean dwellings etc are plentiful but usually ignored by politicians who lack creative vision You can’t have mass third world population importation and not get a housing crisis. Stop immigration to reduce housing demand and stop depressing wages

Head start for home owners makes a big difference for housing stressNew research finds owners who entered the housing market 10-15 years ago are less likely to be in housing stress compared with renters or prospective home buyers. So does deflating this artificially inflated bubble. Thankfully that’s what’s finally happening 👍 30% is not really a useful measure. 30% of $80K compared to say $120K. One income or 2? Some would struggle with a payment of say $3000/mth for others it's manageable. . DISGRACEFUL JOURNALISM. This puff piece for the real estate institute ignires the over-inflated market to suggest that people just need to ride out their first 5 years. Incorrect use of data. False premises. There is NO understanding of the market or mortage stress here..
