14 weeks of PAID parental leave. Only in Melbourne, the wokest and most extreme left wing city in Australia, perhaps the southern hemisphere. (media.communities.win)

The left doesn't give a fuck about a healthy birthrate, nor do measures like this help (as seen in other countries that have mandated them). The actual problem underlying low birthrates is feminism, which pushes women away from motherhood.

Man I hate to break it to you, but you kind of need women if you want any sort of birthrate to begin with

I think 14 weeks is a little excessive. 14 weeks away from work is really going to equate to like 16 weeks when it takes you 2 weeks to just get caught up to any changes in procedure and getting back into the swing of things at work.

Laughs in Australian…

Have you even SEEN out birthdates or pre-coof immigration levels..?

Our birth rates are substantially lower than the US, and our legal immigration rate WAS much higher. And we’ve had “paid parental leave” for literally decades…

In theory? You’re right. Like Communism. Has it actually worked, though? Lol, are you fucking kidding me??

Exactly those things you would think the policy might help have been so disastrous, our whole country and economy is completely fucked, and no one can afford a house, because the fucking immigrants keep coming, and taking (renting, mostly) more and more of the housing stock.

It is literally one of the biggest policy failures of the last 30 years, here, man…

Leftists simply will not have babies. They’ll take your money, but they just… Won’t. They refuse…

This actually sounds pretty good, to me, if you can get it…

If it isn’t an “identified position” (i.e women-only, or blacks-only), AND they don’t only hire… Certain groups on the sneaky (i.e. unofficially), which I have seen happen SO MANY TIMES, now, in this country, then it sounds pretty damn sweet…

You know they are only doing this because they fired all the “unjabbed” drivers and staff, though… 😑

Regarding PPL, though: it hasn’t, and doesn’t, work, anywhere it has been tried, to increase birthrates…

In current era, things like this, the “baby bonus” - you cannot “encourage” women into having children, by throwing money at them. Time and time again, it has been shown to not fucking work…

The only way around it, the only way, at this point, would be to literally pay women to be mothers, full-time and long-term, or, I dunno, a reverse of early-20th-century policy, where you are only allowed to work if you are married and have already popped out a kid or two..?

Which will literally never happen.

The only way our society survives past 2100 is if the entire current…Way of doing things is torn down, and women go back to raising children. Not necessarily wanting to raise children, but being willing or obligated to, as in the past. Otherwise… The past few centuries of social “progress”, and perhaps beyond, will be extinguished by our own exceptionally selfish ignorance of our biological needs as a species…

Crazy thought, that. 😑

It doesn't specify gender. I wouldn't be surprised if it was strictly for women's benefit, especially given how woke that continent is, but those are the technicalities.

Given how they'd probably go out of their way to trumpet for females, the lack of gender-specific language does stick out.
