之前工党每个新出的政策都被狂批。今天工党总算搞出来个稍微像点样的东西了,PAID PARENTAL LEAVE TO FOUR WEEKS. 对年轻家庭和促进人口出生率有帮助,看了下预算也不算太多。
The scheme would be phased in from July 2024. Initially, the partner would receive two weeks paid leave, and this would then increase to three weeks in July 2025 and four weeks by July 2026. That means the cost steadily increases, from $35m in 2024/25 to $75m in 2027/27 - an overall cost over the forecast period of $230m.
