No contraception, no dole

Anyone else see this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2890622/No-proof-contraception-no-dole-former-Labor-Minister-says-claiming-unemployment-benefits-not-allowed-children.html

Some former labour minister in Australia, says women should be forced to prove they are on contraception if there sole source of income is the taxpayer. Says it will discourage people to have kids they cant support which the taxpayer has to.

So basically you cant have kids if you are on social welfare.

He forgot one thing it takes two tango.

Will the government cover the cost of the contraception?

Mr. Incognito · 13-01-2015 11:53am

Wait till the feminist movement hears this.

He will be set on fire.

Trying to discourage people from having kids they can't afford to support? Sounds great to me

smash · 13-01-2015 11:54am

This whole idea is just fcuking hilarious!

governemt sponsored spaying!!!!

Some Australian former politician says something controversial in his newspaper column. Sounds like one of those gob****es who comes out with that kind of rubbish regularly to keep himself in a job.

why not just neuter them while they're at it? Same for the blokes- they would come tops in the World Social Welfare Castrato choir competition

He is right.

There's too many on welfare having children and making it a lifestyle choice for themselves. Why should the taxpayer support this choice?

Have you got kids?

I still think we should go with my plan of turning people on the dole into Soylent Green or at least experiment on them so we can extract nutrients from them for our own benefit.

No more obnoxious than a single mother with five kids expecting me to pay her way.

Scrounging as a way of life should be made unviable.

I approve of this product and/or service.

I would agree there is a link but that is fairly sexist, undemocratic, inhumane and something you would get under a dictatorship.

Gatling · 13-01-2015 11:59am

It's seems to getting momentum apparently the UK are looking into similar ideas ,

As much as it sounds Rediculous maybe it's a good thing welfare shouldn't be a career choice probably be better off limiting the welfare payments to multiple kids ,get something for your first child after that your on your own

super_furry · 13-01-2015 12:00pm

Hahaha, some of you lot won't be happy until the government taxes getting the ride. Sex licences for some, jail terms for others.

Raising kids in borderline poverty is inhumane.

I'd be entitled to ask you 'do you have kids' but I don't care.

"IT'S THE UNMARRIED MOTHERS WOT DID IT I TELL YA"

Soooooooo 1980's.
The more we change, the more we stay the same.

Obviously.

While I do think that disincentivising so-called Mickey-Money would be a good idea, I feel uncomfortable with 'no contraception, no money'. It just smacks to me a bit of getting a boot in the door regarding benefits. What would be next? Prove you don't smoke? Prove you don't buy junk food? Start to penalise low wage earners receiving benefits in the same way?

CarpeDiem85 · 13-01-2015 12:06pm

Oh lovely, another thread on picking on single parents, by that I mean single mothers! There have already been changes to claiming the One Parent Family Allowance in Ireland so how you'd make bringing up children a lifestyle choice is beyond me.

Not one mention of the male species and their responsibilities.

'The ride'

Do some people just get the one ride and that's it?

Perhaps all women should be issued with chastity belts and the keys be held by the state until they have a good education and a permanent job they can't be sacked from. (The PS comes to mind)

Not looking to pick on any single mothers, I know plenty hard working mothers who do dads job too. Total respect for them.

Thread was more about this lunatics idea.

No contraception, no dole
