paid parental leave

Earlier this week, Independent senator Nick Xenophon and his team effectively stymied the government’s plan to begin reduced paid parental leave payments from 1 January 2017.

The government is looking at boosting paid parental leave from 18 to 20 weeks.

The Coalition Government wants to save $1.

When Tony Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey announced an end to two sets of maternity leave payments for “double dipping” mothers, it almost seemed wise to stay quiet.
