As a tax payer I'm entitled to an opinion on how the money pool gets spent.

Then go vote.

Yep. I'm still entitled to my opinion on such matters.

The last two really annoy me because it is all about women wanting it all, they want to have a career and kids at the same time,

They don’t really have a choice. Both parents need to work these days if they don’t want to live in abject poverty.

But you do have a choice to become a parent.

shouldn't you wait util Sunday to eat the chocolate Eggs? Technically, you're supposed to fast until Lent is over. We follow the Julian (Orthodox) calendar, so our Easter isn't for another month.

you do you, Immortality.

one thing ilike about New Zealand chocolate (Whittakers) is the 250g portion size. Cadbury & others got rid of that in aus about 30 years ago. Nowadays it's a pathetic 180g and getting smaller each year. the promo blocks are even smaller at 167g

For the first time in many years we bought easter eggs. This was about 2 weeks ago and we ate them straight away. Technically we are absolved of any sin because because we were just late for the last time instead of early for this one. To be on the safeside I will say 3 hail mary's and promise not to do it again.

However Old Bomb thanks for getting this thread off track.

Also I like how you call me lonely, because I choose to be single how exactly does that make me lonely? Maybe that is an irrational fear of people who are in relationships.
I choose to be single as 50% of all marriages fail, 70% of which are initiated by the female, and 80% of females retain majority custody of the children, and men have to pay child support in that case. So basically women can start a no fault divorce, and the man is helpless and gets shafted.

There is one way to avoid this and that is to avoid cohabitation, but that doesn't mean that you're lonely, loneliness is all about how the individual perceives their situation. But it is far easier for women to become lonely, as they're social by nature, whereas men can be wanderers, or lone wolves as the saying goes, as the male wolves will leave the pack but the female wolves will stay.

So being in a relationship must involve marriage...

You are dillusional

I get your point.
But lets look at it like this.
Tax payers pay for schools, they pay for family benefit, these two things have been happening for quite some time.
Now this current government wants to increase parental leave and pay the companies with tax payer money to support this.
They also want to give parents more money for child care.

The last two really annoy me because it is all about women wanting it all, they want to have a career and kids at the same time, so instead of making that choice, the government wants to redirect that money from hospitals and police to let women have both.

You do realise males can take that role and do as being the primary carer...But as per normal with you, don't know how the real world operates

What social security rights do de facto couples have?​

De facto couples have the same social security rights as married couples. That means if you separate from your de facto partner and you have a dependent child, you could qualify for assistance. You may also qualify for a benefit if you have dependent children and your partner dies.
