1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Nation pub test today. The baby bonus? Does it pass

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: the PUB test? I remember when Peter Castelle put it

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: in in two thousand and four. He was doing the

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: macarena and he put the baby bonus in.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, how this would work.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 4: Well, we're not going to be necessarily getting a new

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 4: baby bonus, but there's mounting pressure on treasure Jim Chalmers

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 4: to consider putting three thousand dollars in the pockets of

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 4: new parents to burst the booth to boost the birth rate. Already,

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 4: you'd still get the same benefits plus this new three.

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: We want kids, little losy kids week, the kids running

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: around the place, that's what we want.

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: Well, we have a declining birth rate and in the

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 4: future that means we won't have enough taxpayers and we'll

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: all be able to whack. So what do you think

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: the baby bonus? Does it past the PUB test?

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Yes, it does. Even the current situations where family tax

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: benefit helps families out there in need, where they are

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: starting to pay out mortgages, it's really really hard. So yes,

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: definitely passed the pub debt.

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so.

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 6: In a time where people are struggling financially, they're going

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 6: to take more taxpayers money and just give us to people.

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: How about we do some tax reforms and insurance reforms.

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 6: Instead help everybody, so that's specific groups.

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: Yes, it does pass the pub test. I got the

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: baby bonus and I had my children back in two

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: thousand and six, and it helps me imntally. The only

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: thing that's worrying is as long as they don't go

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: and spend it on TVs, fees, et cetera, and as

32
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: long as it's put to use for the the babylane.

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: I don't think it passed the pub test. I was

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 5: a beneficiary. I bought a big screen TV when we

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 5: got the baby bonus. And this is going to be controversial,

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 5: but I think if you're having a baby to get

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 5: three thousand dollars, you're not going to be a benefit

38
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 5: of the country. I think you're going to be a

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 5: welfare recipient.

40
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: I remember all those single mothers writing jet skis on

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: the harbor.

42
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: But it's about creating future humans. It's not about what

43
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: you spend the money on now. It's about getting children

44
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: into the into the communities rather than what you're buying

45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: with it. Yeah, it's building this country, building this country

46
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: in this country,
