Real life weight loss stories: George Tsiappourdhi
Now...15st 7lb
Weight loss...12 stone
'Last year, my grandad came to visit from Cyprus - and the last thing he said before he left was that I was so fat, I had no neck.
'He was right! I had a 54in waist, too, and was 27 1/2 stone. I'd always been fat. When I was 7, I was taken to see a dietician. They said I'd grow out of it. I didn't! As I got older, all I did was grow out as well as up!
'I was eating huge portions. I'd go to a fast-food place on my way home from work, get three meals and say they were for my friends - then scoff the lot. And when I got home, I'd eat another meal that Mum cooked.
'I couldn't find clothes to fit me in the shops, so had to buy them off the Internet.
'My weight was such a problem, I left my job and I was at an all-time low when I realised I'd never weighed less than my age.
'I was thinking about having a gastric band, but kept being told I should try LighterLife. I'd heard about it, good and bad - blah, blah, blah, I thought! But then I was given the number of a girl who'd lost 11st with it, so I rang her and had a long chat. She convinced me it was the answer.
'LighterLife's a weight-loss and counselling programme. I'd have to give up my normal food and eat a special porridge, soup, milkshake, and a cereal bar each day. I thought it'd be hard, but it wasn't - especially after I lost 15lb in the first week!
'The milestone of getting down to 22 stone when I was aged 23 was great, as I was actually older than my weight for the first time I could recall! I kept on losing 7lb a week and, in six months, I'd lost 11 stone.
'The all-male counselling sessions really helped, delving into the reasons why I overate. It all started to fall into place. I also began walking and then, as I lost weight, I started to run.
'I even did the London Marathon earlier this year. My time? A respectable 5 1/2 hours. Now, I'm also starting to use weights, as getting a six-pack is my next challenge!
'Best of all, when I went to Cyrpus to surprise Grandad and Grandma, they didn't recognise the new me!'

I recently got the advice to get a bolt in 223. I have never thought about getting a 223 in bolt because of the availability of ars. So 2 questions. 1. What are the basic bolt vs semi auto in 223, and 2 what are some good entrance to middling quality built rifles. As of now I own no 223s of any kind and when I was at the shop yesterday the salesman showed me a "great" option, a tikka for 650ish. Conveniently though it was the only bolt 223 in the building so was he just trying to sell a product or is that a good buy. Also advice on a good piece of glass would be greatly appreciated
Tikkas are great guns.
I just bought me this a half a year ago or so, and have no regrets. It has become my foul weather gun not for fouls. Its a Weatherby Series 2. Was about 450.00
Try a big box store that has lots of brans and hold all of them, most make one in 223.
im not a fan of off the shlf bolt guns in 223. they are all 1-12 twist gopher guns.
they are designed for shooting varmints with 40-55 grain bullets.
if i was going to do a bolt gun in 223 i would opt for a 1-8 twist krieger barrel on a savage model10 action. it opens up longer ranges while being less susceptable to the wind.
im just of the opinion that the 223 is best left in the ar15 format
Ruger, Savage, Marlin, Remington all make very inexpensive (like $300) bolt rifles. Most are more accurate than most shooters are.
I would wonder why you would want a 223 bolt gun?
First off,What type of shooting do you plan on doing with it,and what type of budget do you have?
Depending on what your planned uses are,will depend on what style of rifle I'd suggest.
You will also want to get a rifle with the correct barrel twist rate,and in 223's there are several twist rates offered by different gun makers.
I prefer a 1-8 or 1-9 twist rate on my 223 caliber rifles,but they also come in 1-7 and 1-12 twist rates. The twist rate on the barrel will determine the bullet weight's that the rifle will stabilize/shoot best.
A 1-7 will shoot the heaviest bullets,and a 1-12 shoots lighter weight bullets. The 1-8/1-9 twist will shoot 45 grain up to 75 grain bullets,and are generally what most people choose.
In general,most bolt action rifles will shoot better groups than semi auto's,but that also depends on the weapon/bullets/shooter.
If you don't load your own ammo,most of the time a bolt action will out shoot a semi auto with factory ammo.
I shoot both,a Savage 12 FLVSS bolt action,and a Rock River 20" Varminter. The Savage will shoot circles around the Rock River any day of the week,but both shoot well under 1 MOA.
Optics will depend on the type of shooting your wanting to do,but I always buy the best that I can afford for any rifle I shoot. Cheap scopes are just that,Cheap Scopes!
There are a few manufacture's that only offer 1-12 twist rates,but most are 1-9 / 1-8 / and a few offer 1-7 twist rates.
My 1-9 Savage 12 shoots 75 grain BTHP and AMax bullets excellent,and I'd put it up against any AR anytime. The favorite load I have for that rifle is 60 grain V-Max bullets,it shoots under 1/4" groups with these bullets.
Primarily for range practice but eventually for hunting deer. I live in nor cal so they are small enough. Price wise up too 1000 including the glass
I've got a Savage model 11 that is a real nice gun.
Lessdragon you do realize that the 223 is a very marginal deer caliber. Yes I know their are shooters that shoot deer, elk, moose, musk ox, hippos, etc with it but it is still a marginal deer round. I would suggest stepping up to a 243 or something.

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing and time stood still
An eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen, I had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son" he said
"Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah back home
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
By turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Although my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said
"Well, grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
Well no one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said
"You can keep my things,
Ain't goin' to take me home."

A universal beacon of loving ♡ kindness and world peace is currently being constructed near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
At the projects core will be the world's tallest symbol of Loving kindness – a 177 foot tall statue of the standing Maitreya Bodhisattva. Maitreya is the Buddha, or Bodhisattva of loving ♡ kindness.
At the heart of the Mongolian people's spiritual re-connection and under the spiritual guidance of HH 14th Dalai Lama is the Grand Maitreya Project. The Project aims to help further Mongolia's cultural revival by building a beacon of loving ♡ kindness for peace on Earth.
Connected to the statue will be a 354 foot tall stupa and complex. The purpose of the project is to help create the needed conditions for loving ♡ kindness to manifest worldwide, resulting in lasting world peace.
The statue site will also feature non-sectarian & international Buddhist temples representing many different lineages & traditions from around the world. Making the statue complex a unique place for all spiritual traditions to come together in peace.
Mongolia is currently experiencing a nationwide cultural re-connection with their spiritual roots of Buddhism. After many years of occupation, 200 brave Mongolian people staged a peaceful protest that eventually sparked into a nationwide cultural revolution. By 1990 occupying forces retreated and Mongolia once again re-gained their spiritual freedom.
Take a look at HH Dalai Lama´s letter of support for the project.
"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees."
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
"Be wise. Treat yourself, your mind, sympathetically, with loving kindness. If you are gentle with yourself, you will become gentle with others."
"We all have the seeds of basic goodness within us — we only have to nourish them."
"Just as compassion is the wish that all sentient beings be free of suffering, loving-kindness is the wish that all may enjoy happiness."
"It's never too early or too late to benefit beings."
"I am pleased and happy to know that the main part of the Grand Maitreya project will be dedicated for supporting education."
The only position from which you can never fall is the awakened state.
"The more you are motivated by love the more fearless and free your action will be."
The standing Maitreya Bodhisattva's
footsteps signify the
coming of…
the golden age.

NCIS: Los Angeles: 4×08 Collateral: Recap and Review11/28/2012
NCIS: Los Angeles: 4×08 Collateral: Recap and Review
NCIS: Los Angeles 4×08 Summary "A retired CIA agent, who was also a millionaire, is murdered. The investigation reveals Hetty may know more about the case than she is willing to acknowledge."
NCIS Los Angeles opens on a beach house with a magnificent view. Two young women tiptoe in from the beach carrying their sandals, giggling and shushing one another. An older man lays on the couch and rises after they pass by. He opens his tablet and sees the girls frolicking in the bedroom. "Magoo you've done it again." He says as he takes a call from a friend he calls Dex. They chat about his life and Dex warns that those cigars will kill him. "That's part of the fun! Later Dex." He says and disconnects. The gray-haired gentleman goes out on his balcony and looks as his lighter before lighting the cigar. As soon as he lights it there is a huge explosion and he is completely disintegrated.
On the Shooting range, Deeks and Kensi compare scores. Deeks thinks he did well until he sees Kensi's target. Kensi says he owes her a nice meal, no t-shirt, no jeans. Deeks claims he's a better shot when he's on the move and being shot at. Coming into the NCIS: Los Angeles office, Sam starts asking about his Isaac Hayes album. Deeks borrowed it and never gave it back. Kensi explains to Callen that Deeks watched a movie and then had to hear Isaac Hayes. Callen says it's not a good idea to borrow anything from Sam. Deeks claims that his dog, Monte, ate the record and gives Sam something better. An MP3 player with every song Isaac Hayes ever recorded. Sam isn't happy and educates Deeks on Vinyl records.
Eric interrupts the team and says Hetty wants them in Ops. They are briefed on the victim: Victor Potter, and ex CIA agent who made millions off of his "war stories" that have been made into movies, books and games. Deeks thinks it's an exploding cigar but on playback finds out it's an exploding lighter. He says the cigar would have been cooler; like Yosemite Sam.
Sam tells Deeks not to mess with Yosemite Sam.
Callen asks Nell where Hetty is and why she wasn't present in Ops and Nell says it's because she was on the phone. Callen isn't happy with that answer.
Hetty is talking to Owen on the phone and tells him the investigation has just begun. She says that she'll find out "as soon as he calls me back." And then hangs up. Callen tells Hetty that he has just received the briefing and she blows him off as she passes him by. Sam says she does that all the time.
In the car Sam and Callen discuss their favorite cartoon characters. Callen's is Hong Kong Fooey; Sam says Underdog had a better theme song and he could fly.
At the beach house, Deeks says he guesses that what they say is true, you can't take it with you. They look at videos on the tablet and Deeks recognizes one of the girls. He says her name is Nicole and she works as a high priced call girl for 7 Star Oasis.
Nell and Eric have the victim's computer and are trying to get past the fire wall. Eric says that he'll only take minutes; the password is Napoleon Solo. Sam immediately chimes in "Man From Uncle" and Callen calls him a Geek. During their argument Nell tells Sam he owes a dollar to the swear jar. Callen asks why he didn't know there was a swear jar, and Nell says that Hetty just takes it out of his checks.
They are unable to get any facial recognition on the girls and reason that they have never been caught or perhaps they are here illegally. Nell talks about a DVD Eric gave her, 46 years of football; now she's addicted. Sam is impressed.
Kensi and Deeks go to 7 Stars Oasis to get information. Deeks tells Kensi that he worked vice here; acted like a player. Kensi lets her hair down and unbuttons her shirt enough to show cleavage. She gets Deeks flustered before going in. He warns her that they might get frisky with her in the back room. Kensi says she can handle any man.
Inside, the receptionist asks if she has an appointment; since she doesn't Kensi is told to wait with the other girls in the lobby. Kensi spots a camera and starts flirting with it. Soon the phone rings and she's told to go right in. The woman who meets her says that she's a winner, a Thoroughbred. Kensi says she doesn't like being compared to a horse. The Madame says that her name is Wendy and she just meant that "Paula" is the total package, doesn't need short skirts and high heels. Then she asks her real name. Now Kensi says it's Cathy and she switches to a southern accent. The woman explains that they keep lonely rich men company and nothing happens that you don't want to happen.
Wendy tells her that she can help her become anything, an actress, a singer; she gets close to Kensi and starts to stroke her cheek. Nell lets Kensi know that they have everything they need and Kensi takes Wendy's hand off of her. Not today.
Outside Kensi tells Deeks that she needs a shower, she said she could handle any man getting frisky; she hadn't expected this. Kensi promises Deeks that she'll tell Sam what really happened to the record album. Deeks sat on it and it broke; Monte had nothing to do with it.
In Ops, Nell and Eric discuss her new love of football; he says that's one more thing they have in common. Then he finds out she likes the Jets and he likes the Giants. Their argument is interrupted when Nell gets a message for Hetty.
Hetty is looking at an old photograph of Victor Potter and Owen Grainger; she turns and locks it away with her weapon collection. Callen asks Hetty what's in the box. She replies "The past, securely locked away." Nell enters and tells Hetty that she is to call Assistant Director Grainger. When Hetty leaves, Callen asks Nell to keep an eye on Hetty. She doesn't want to spy on her, but Callen says it's to keep her safe.
Callen and Sam approach a house and announce "Federal Agents." There's no answer, Callen looks through the window and says "We got a body." They break in. The agents clear the house and then Callen returns to where the two call girls lie. He realizes one is breathing and Sam tells Eric to call rescue.
The survivor passes Callen on a gurney and the EMT tells him that in two more minutes she would have been dead. "She owes you her life." He says that he gave her something and she'll be able to answer their questions.
Callen talks to Nicole; he tells her this was no accident, he asks what she remembers. Nicole says the man was coming to pay them. There was a side deal that didn't go through the escort service. It was a job for some ex government big shot, but he had to think he picked them up. It couldn't look like they were pros. The guy didn't even care if they slept with Potter, just play a prank. They were supposed to give him a trick lighter.
Callen presses her for a name; he doesn't believe she would trust someone she didn't know to come to her house. She admits his name is Ruiz. He pulled a gun and shot them up with smack.
Back in NCIS: Los Angeles Ops, Ruiz does wet work for the highest bidder. They have to find out who hired him for the job. Nell tells Callen that Hetty took the chip out of her phone; she has no idea where Hetty is. Eric locates Ruiz on a security camera, but Grainger comes in and tells the team that the mission is over. "The book is closed." When the team complains Grainger says "Control your people Mr. Callen" and walks out of Ops. Callen looks at the team and says "Let's Roll."
NCIS: Los Angeles: 4×07 Skin Deep: Recap and Review
Ruiz is sitting at an outdoor café table; Sam and Callen approach him from one direction. Deeks and Kensi are approaching from another direction. A woman is sitting in a black SUV spots the team and calls Ruiz on the cell phone. "You've got company. I'll take care of it, stay right where you are." Ruiz complies. As soon as the team is close to Ruiz, the SUV pulls up and the woman fires several rounds into Ruiz; killing him before he can be caught and questioned. Eric says there's no tag on the vehicle. Deeks never had a shot as the shooter drove away.
Callen asks Eric where Grainger is; he left right after Callen and his team. Eric says that none of the cameras got a view of the driver or the shooter.
In the NCIS: Los Angeles office, Callen is upset. They have no way to find Hetty. She insisted they take the case and then she disappeared. Grainger insisted they get off the case and he disappeared. Callen turns to Nell and says he needs another favor. He knows Nell has the password. She's afraid she'll go to Guantanamo Bay; there's no Sunday NFL ticket there. She opens the box for Callen and he sees the picture.
Hetty, Grainger, Potter and one other man are in the photo. Sam says they are in the Middle East, but he can't tell where. The picture is at least a decade old. Callen points at the unknown man; "This is where Hetty's going, to find this man."
Nell and Eric run his photo; Barry Brooks is an ex-CIA agent and veteran. The team was put together in the 80's for a mission in Afghanistan and sent on other covert missions since. Brooks accused Potter of capitalizing on their exploits and was planning to sue him for half of the profits.
The NCIS Los Angeles team moves in on the home of Barry Brooks. They announce that they're Federal Agents and enter the house, clearing each area. They find a body; it's Barry Brooks and he's been tortured. He crawled to the kitchen to write a message on the floor "Nogales Bo" in his own blood. Sam catches that there is a trip wire under the body; it connects to a bomb in the bottom drawer. They think this trap was meant for Hetty.
In Ops, Nell worries about Hetty; someone is out there trying to kill her. Eric reminds Nell that Hetty is hard to kill. He says, "If Genghis Khan and Mata Hari had a daughter, it would be Hetty."
"General Patton and Joan of Arc." Nell counters. Eric makes Nell repeat after him "Her Kung Fu is strong and her magic is powerful."
Callen argues that Hetty would have been trying to lead the killer away from NCIS: Los Angeles headquarters. Sam comments that she may have left a breadcrumb trail for the team to follow and they all start to look for clues. Callen finds a walnut on Hetty's desk. She's allergic to nuts, so why would she have a walnut? Nogales means walnut. Nell looks on Hetty's computer and sees that her last search was Casa De Nogales. Once a presidential retreat, Casa De Nogales is now a safe house for CIA and NCIS agents,
The NCIS: Los Angeles team closes in on the estate; Sam takes out one guard while Callen disarms another. Deeks comments "This is the best Langley could do as all four converge inside the house and are met with Grainger and a lot of Gunmen. "Where's Hetty?"
Hetty comes in and says "If we wanted you here we would've called."
Sam recognizes one of the bodyguards and introduces him to the team. They tell Hetty that Brooks was tortured and the safe house is compromised. They've come to move her. Just then some shots are fired from outside.
Sam and Callen count the gunmen and decide there are five shooters. Callen tells Hetty to stay and take stabilize the man who was shot. He and Sam will take the back; he sends Kensi and Deeks to the front.
The shoot-out doesn't last very long; but the fifth shooter runs and gets into a black Navigator. Deeks shoots at it repeatedly; then Kensi lets Callen know the vehicle is coming their way. Sam and Callen keep firing at the vehicle until it wrecks and flips over. Callen gets to the girl and asks her name: "Fatima Khan." she gets out before she is shot. Callen turns and sees Hetty holding the gun. "I thought I told you to stay back." Hetty tells Callen that they share a similar view of authority.
Callen learns that Fatima Khan was twelve years old when her father died. He was a taxi driver, but ended up being a private driver for one of the founders of Al Queda. The cab exploded with her father in it. Potter's team was responsible for the explosion. The photo shows a girl running towards the flames; that is Fatima.
Fatima went to college and got her degree; then developed eave's dropping technology and made millions; she joined the CIA and had the clearance to find the agents responsible for her father's death, and the money to get her revenge.
Deeks comes up with an Isaac Hayes album for Sam; he says he found it in the safe house. There was a huge album collection. Deeks owes Kensi a meal, she invites Sam but he says no. He has the James Bond collection on Blu Ray; Nell and Eric are coming over to watch. Kensi and Deeks seem more interested in that than dinner.
In her office Hetty pours 50 year old scotch for herself and for Grainger. "Two lives saved hundreds of others." Hetty says.
"Potter planted the bomb but it was your finger on the detonator." Grainger says. There is a flashback of Grainger holding Fatima back from the scene. Grainger asks Hetty how she got into this.
"I didn't choose this life; it chose me. Keep your head down, gun up and conscience clear. The night is young; let's get faded."

BAYTOWN, Texas - Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who stole an expensive, rare drone from Copter Source, a drone specialty store located at 10902 Interstate 10 East.
It happened on Jan. 9, and the incident was captured on the store's surveillance system.
The man entered the store just before 5 p.m., and the owners told KPRC he was inside for about 45 minutes, acting like he was going to buy a drone and asking a lot of questions, almost as if he was doing his research right then and there.
"He wanted to know how much everything was worth, and how much it cost," said Laura Turbeville, one of the store's owners.
The video shows the man, who was wearing a black leather jacket, put a box under his arm and walk out.
The drone he stole is called a Mavic Pro, and Turbeville said it's very rare.
They are hard to come by these days.
"It's extremely rare," she said. "It's worth about $1,000 retail value, but they're selling them on Craigslist for almost double."
Turbeville and her husband ordered 10 Maveric Pro drones in October, and have only received two from the company so far.
She said the components are also hard to get.
The stolen drone isn't going to be much use to the thief because he didn't take the charger, and without it, the drone will only fly for 20 minutes.
Turbeville said the parts are just as hard to get, so the thief won't be able to buy one.
"As small business owners, it's always a setback when someone does this," she said.
Turbeville and her husband are hoping someone will recognize the man from the surveillance footage and help deputies identify him.
Anyone with information should contact the Chambers County Sheriff's Office.

It took a stun gun to bring Whitney Leeks under control when detectives from the Lackawanna County Drug Task Force told her they contacted county Children and Youth Services after finding drugs in her home.
"Oh hell no, I've been through this before," she shouted before struggling with detectives, forcing them to use a stun gun.
Detectives and Dunmore police served a search warrant at 229 S. Webster Ave., Apt. 2, Wednesday afternoon and found Mrs. Leeks, 23, her husband, Davon Leeks, 26, and three children. Scranton police dog Kemp also assisted on the scene.
A search turned up 49 bags of heroin in Mr. Leeks' dresser drawer, bundled together by a rubber band and placed in a plastic grocery bag filled with rice, a common technique used by traffickers to keep their narcotics free of moisture, detectives said. They also found a small amount of marijuana in the bag.
Children and Youth Services took custody of the children and the house was condemned.
Detectives charged Mrs. Leeks, 23, with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance, endangering the welfare of children, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
Mr. Leeks, 26, faces the same charges plus one count of giving a false identification to law enforcement. He initially told police his first name was "Sean" and mumbled a last name. Officers found identification on him that revealed his true name.
Mrs. Leeks was sent to Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Bail and preliminary hearing information for Mr. Leeks was not immediately available.

Report summaryChristmas Creek is a large capacity surface mine in Western Australia's Pilbara iron ore province and one of Fortescue's two operating mines that make up the Chichester Hub - the other mine is Cloudbreak. Christmas Creek produces 55Mtpa of beneficiated iron ore fines. Cash costs have fallen substantially over the past four years because of the weaker Australian dollar, lower oil prices and improvements to the wet ore processing facilities. The processing improvements has enabled Christmas Creek to mine and process lower grade ore without affecting product quality, which has improved the mine's efficiency.

NEW YORK (AP) — An organization affiliated with Google is offering tools that news organizations and election-related sites can use to protect themselves from hacking.
Jigsaw, a research arm of Google parent company Alphabet Inc., says that free and fair elections depend on access to information. To ensure such access, Jigsaw says, sites for news, human rights and election monitoring need to be protected from cyberattacks.
Jigsaw's suite of free tools, called Protect Your Election, is mostly a repackaging of existing tools. One helps websites guard against denial-of-service attacks, in which hackers flood sites with so much traffic that legitimate visitors can't get through. Others are meant to help prevent password stealing and unauthorized account access.

ARE childless Australians community-spirited enough to pay more taxes to enable people with kids to be taxed less, to help support them as they raise the next generation of taxpayers to keep the country going?
It is a controversial proposal, floated today in the US by one childless columnist who was raised by two extremely hardworking middle class parents who battled—as many Australian families do—to cover family costs.
To foster a fairer society and give those who are producing kids a little less excruciating financial pressure, he suggests that child-free people earning more than the median household income (in Australia $57,400 in 2011) should be taxed more heavily, and families should pay around $5000 a year less.
"As a childless professional in my mid-30s, I often reflect on the sacrifices working parents make to better the lives of their children. And I have come to the reluctant conclusion that I ought to pay much higher taxes so that working parents can pay much lower taxes," writes conservative columnist and political commentator Reihan Salam in the journal Slate.
"By shifting the tax burden from parents to nonparent, we will help give America's children a better start in life, and we will help correct a simple injustice. We all benefit from the work of parents. Each new generation reinvigorates our society with its youthful vim and vigour. . .
While nonparent can focus on their jobs in laserlike fashion, parents are rarely in a position to do the same. Every time a sick child keeps a parent home from work, her earnings suffer, either directly, because she's taking an unpaid leave of absence, or indirectly, because she's missing out on opportunities to climb the corporate ladder.
Even when we compare a nonparent and a parent who are working exactly the same hours and earning exactly the same income, the nonparent has a clear leg up. Most obviously, the nonparent has far more disposable income to play with. . .Raising taxes on nonparent could even the score a bit, tilting the balance ever so slightly in favour of those who toil on behalf of America's future workforce by wiping their butts and painstakingly removing their head lice."
His tone is playful but his point is very serious. In the US it is estimated the cost of raising a child born in 2012 to the age of 18 is $US301,970 (which as Salam points out doesn't include the cost of post-secondary education), and the latest AMP and the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) study found last year that the cost of raising two Australian children to age 21 here was a crushing $800,000.
It found middle-income families had the biggest increase in costs, and are now spending up to 50 per cent more than in 2007.
"The cost of (raising) two children to the age of 21 is about $800,000, Ben Phillips, a NATSEM researcher said. "So it's incredibly expensive, and the main drivers of this are the big ticket items such as food and transport and recreation."
And coupled with the financial outlay required to cover the rapidly increasing cost of kids is the cost of foregone earnings and the opportunity cost for people who choose to have kids. The massive cost of quality child care in Australia, plus the lack of available places, are stacked against Australian working parents, and the cost of child care alone is said to be a big factor in families' decision to keep one person out of the workplace altogether when the kids are preschool aged.
Lowering taxes for families by increasing taxes on childless people would free up more of families' disposable income for child care, for one thing, and potentially allow the workplace participation of women to increase in Australia—as consecutive governments have strongly suggested it should.
And, though clearly not a vote-winner among the childless by choice (or those for whom infertility or other issues have made parenthood impossible), it would recognise the vital job families are doing by rearing new Australians who will care for, and pay for, many of us into our old age.
Australian birthrates still lag behind replacement rates, and the decline in family sizes, as well as the trend towards delaying starting families, has been attributed in large measure to the intimidating cost of having kids.
So, what do you reckon, are we family-friendly enough to ask those who go without the burden of having children to pay more to help the ones who do? Or do we still consider that in Australia it's every, man, woman and their children—and every double-income no kids unit—for themself?

- TaxPayer of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 1:31pm
Childless couple already pay more 'net' tax: for example: - cannot claim any family tax benifits - don't receive any hand-outs which are intended to assist in the costs of sending a child to school, but really just go into the family holiday fund - receive no child-care rebates all these things are funded by the net tax payers in society, and all childless couples are net tax payers. Fact is childless couples are the net tax payers in society, families are the tax consumers.
- Rochelle of ACT Posted at 02/04/2014 1:36pm
We are taxed more in Australia. We get no discounts, no govt handouts, contribute to the enconomy with high disposal incomes - Sick of being punished for my life choices. I don't drain ANYTHING out of the tax system that I haven't paid for 10 times over!!
- James kinglsnad of brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 1:36pm
No Way a democractic society should be equal in all aspects including tax. parents with kids pay the same tax as others for income hoewever are supplemented to the detrminet of other with family tax benfits A+B school bonusese reduced medicare levies, reduced medical costs / free dental appointments, reduced rates in some cases and the list is endless. If you ahve a child it is our reposnsibiltiy to have the resources to bring it up. its not the governemtn / other taxpayers responsibility to pay to raise your child, after all a child is a lifestyle choice, if people dont wont children its their choice and should be penalised for it.
- Steve of brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 1:41pm
If you can't afford kids, don't have kids. Don't expect others to help pay for them. Simple as that
- Alan of perth Posted at 02/04/2014 1:42pm
Best tax system I ever worked under was in Boputatswana in the mid "80's. The more kids you had the more you paid. This is how it should be here. Don't see why those expecting free schooling and family benefit payments should be subsidised by others.
- Don't be silly of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 1:44pm
As a parent I say no way!!! it was my choice to have kids, why should other people be punished for my choice? True kids cost a lot to raise but instead of raising tax for those who choose not to have to kids (or who can't have kids) perhaps a better way to unburden parents is to maybe take GST off all child essentials such as nappies, formula, bottles, clothes and shoes (kids go through clothes and shoes so fast). There has to be much better ways than raising taxes for some to allow for the personal choices of others.
- Mouse of Elizabeth - SA Posted at 02/04/2014 1:47pm
I'm sorry but I'm not paying more taxes for something that I have no hope of enjoying. I cannot have children and don't see why I should be punished for my unfortunate circumstances. I live in a low socio-economic area and see person after person after person continue to have children with no thought of how they will be able to raise them. I admire working families as they do things tough and I admire single parents who through no fault of their own end up in a difficult position. However I have very little time for women who are just out to have children because they believe they will end up in a better financial position. They really should have done their sums better before putting their services out there! PS. I'm not normally an angry person, but this tends to annoy me.
- Infertile of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 1:47pm
If having kids was a 'burden' why do people have them? I'd consider it more of a burden to not have kids with the amount of benefits families and parents receive
- Michelle of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 1:47pm
Not every childless couple has a lavish lifestyle. We have chosen to look after elderly parents (financially) instead of having kids. At the end of the day it is down to choice and I dont see why childless couples should have to support other peoples lifestyle choice. Everyone should pay for their own lifestyle choices - if you want kids you may have to forgo the four bedroom house, brand new four wheel drive, ipads, big screen TVs etc - we have to.
- Steve b of Posted at 02/04/2014 1:50pm
childless couples already pay more with no handouts . If you choose to have kids pay for them yourself as I am already subsidising you
- No children and free of Posted at 02/04/2014 1:50pm
I think that is truely unfair! I don't believe that people who choose not to have children (or can't have children) should be financially penalised so people who have decided to go down that road have more 'disposable income'. If you can't afford to live within your means before you have children, you shouldn't have them until you are finanically set. I find this very annoying.
- Glen of Sydney of Posted at 02/04/2014 1:51pm
If you don't have kids, you're still paying for some else to have cheaper services, schools, hospitals, etc etc It should be user pays, it's the only fair way.
- Nina of Posted at 02/04/2014 1:56pm
Isn't that what is already happening with all the tax exemptions, childcare rebates and family tax benefits received by those with children?
- Emma of Newcastle Posted at 02/04/2014 1:59pm
No. Just no. I'm happy to pay taxes for schools even though I don't have kids, I'm happy for my taxes to subsidise childcare for working parents, but I think that's going far enough.
- Thomas Jenkins of Penrith Posted at 02/04/2014 2:02pm
my question back to this is: will i be reimbursed when i can finally afford to have kids?! The only thing that stops me RIGHT now from having kids is the cost - so taxing me more is just going to delay it further!

- Helen of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:07pm
Excuse me???? I pay income tax and have no children. I don't use the education system. I have no need for subsidised childcare. The health system hasn't been burdened by my non existent children. I don't get any family allowances. I will be a self funded retiree: no pension for me. I spend a lot of my own money making sure I stay fit and healthy..can't remember the last time I needed medical attention. Sorry....but I think my chunk of tax money is enough considering the lack of services I require.
- Anders of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:10pm
Childless couples in Australia, and singles for that matter, already pay a higher marginal tax rate than families with children, when you factor in family payments, childcare subsidies and so on, none of which are available in America. Further, we pay taxes for services we will never use (for schools, childhood vaccination programs etc.). Finally, we have to put more aside for our retirement as we won't have children to support us. I do not begrudge any of this - I am aware that some of the current generation of children will grow up to be the doctors and nurses, tradies and carers, who will look after me when I am retired. But any such proposal must take into account the full range of tax benefits, subsidies and services already available to support familes. And please remember that being childless is not a lifestyle choice for many of us.
- Von of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:12pm
Hang on a sec, don't pull the wool over my eyes. We ALREADY do this in Australia! It's not taxing the childless more, but rather, giving benefits to the people with children. Essentially, it's the same thing.
- JL of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 2:12pm
I am single and childless. I am tired of paying all welfare benefits,tax concessions and rebates to families. If the parents cannot afford children without relying on government payments then they should not have any. I dont have a partner to go and split my mortgage or bills and am always missing out when governments continue to keep giving handouts to families that have 2 incomes most of the time. When are single people going to get these extra handouts. Tired of paying for other peoples kids especially when they continue to reproduce and expect the rest of the society to pay for them. Had enough!!
- Kaira Green of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:15pm
This has to be a joke. If you can't afford to have a child here's a tip - don't have one.
- Col of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:16pm
Australia already subsidizes families via the Family Tax Benefit. Perhaps doing something about the cost of housing, both rental and purchased, so that both parents don't need to work to pay the rent/mortgage.

What a lot of drivel...why should I have to pay more for a breeders choice?...I'm saving the gov and the economy...I'm discriminated against constantly because I don't burden society and tax payers with my selfish choice to breed...I have to pick up the slack and work harder when breeders decided to take a paid holiday...it is breeders who shld be providing me with extra.....what a joke!

If you can't afford them DONT have them!
- Felicity of perth Posted at 02/04/2014 2:22pm
I totally disagree, how about rewarding people who work hard all their lives with better retirement options. Instead of giving parents handouts to spend on whatever they like put those dollars back into the education & health systems. So many kids go with out as parents are just looking after themselves and wasting any handouts they already get. Just because you have no children doesn't man your living a high flying life. I am tired of paying my taxes and listening to parents bragging about the money the government gives them and how they are going to Bali and don't pay school fees because they are not compulsory. I know they work and pay the taxes but het so do we. Stop the handouts and put the money into government run services and again the education and health systems.
- Childless1 of Qld Posted at 02/04/2014 2:22pm
I propose the exact opposite!!! As a member of a childless couple, I was raised to believe that "You don't do something if you can't afford the result." With an article the other day saying that the world will face a severe food shortage in ten years, then keeping the population down puts less strain on a dwindling supply. Instead of baby bonuses, childcare subsidies and paid parental leave, there should be a reward for the childless who are saving the planet.
- Robert McCormick of Bridgewater Posted at 02/04/2014 2:27pm
Definitelt NOT. If people want to have children that is their private business. The rest of us should not have to give them a single cent in benefits, they should get no tax breaks, no $5000 Baby Bonus (The world is already over-crowded). Yes, breed if you must but before you do make sure you have enough set aside & budgeted for in the future to pay for everything yourselves. Why should anyone expect those of us who Choose not to breed then start supporting them? It didn't happen in the past & it damn well should not be happening today. Let people have their children, pay for them & at Tax Time be allowed to claim Education Expenses, equivalent to the cost of sending a child to a State School, Not fancy, very expensive Private Schools. Take responsibility for yourselves & stop this nonsense of expecting everyone else to support you. Maybe if you stopped with all the stupid "McMansions" with their 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, pool, 4-car garages etc. you would not need the Welfare you now expect to get.

As a childless professional in my 30's, I feel that this is MY choice and I should not be taxed for it. Having children is their CHOICE and should share in the same tax requirements as us all. IF we are taxed higher, we should have a higher say in what the money is spent on - IE public schools should not be wasting money on unnecessary item etc. Parents should then also take greater responsibility for their children. Society & our taxes should not be used to cover the costs for damages done by a child - ie cleaning up graffiti if a child is caught doing it, or any other damage done to public property. IF parents are getting tax breaks to cover being a better parent - then they have to take greater responsibility for their child's actions.
- Rick of Australia Posted at 02/04/2014 2:29pm
Long story short - you want to place a tax on NOT having children? While we are at it, it is expensive to own a car, with all those on road costs - perhaps we should tax non-car owners more to support those who need cars to travel around? Would you like to tax the air as well while you are at it?
- Owning my choices of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 2:31pm
Having children is a lifestyle choice and I chose not to after specifically considering population growth and the environmental impacts of over-population. I do not think I should be forced to subsidize parents who made their own choices as well, through higher taxes. I choose to sponsor a number of impoverished children overseas and would gladly sponsor disadvantaged children in Australia where I can have input and ensure my contributions are actually benefiting the children I choose to help. If I pay more taxes I would be funding Tony Abbott subsidizing his rich mates to keep emitting high levels of pollution, intellectually disabled Indigenous Australian being kept in prisons rather than being properly cared for. I want as minimal part in the reckless disregard for the community this government has displayed as possible. I am more than happy and do help those less advantaged than myself and I am proud of my choices. What about people who don't have children because they are infertile, is it right to effectively punish them by saying they can pay extra tax for a child someone else has that they might desperately want to care for themselves if they had the chance? That is cruel.
- Mick of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 2:31pm
Why target individual?? Why not companies?? Companies already pay an effective tax rate lower than individuals. People shouldn't be punished for not having children, its not always our choice.
- jason of brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 2:31pm
AS IF. There is just NO WAY. what a joke.
- Andrew of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 2:32pm
You talk about the "Burden" of bringing up kids, what about the "Joy". My wife and I have been unable to have the Joy of bringing up kids and now you want us to pay for other peoples pleasure? If I was to spend $800,000 on things to make up for not being able to have children, do you think other taxpayers should pay for it?
- Alice of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:34pm
Nope. I'm not paying for someone else to have children.
- Stupidity Reigns of Seriously? Posted at 02/04/2014 2:37pm
if the burden of having children is so great then don;t have them and EVERYONE will be much damn happier for it. If this ridiculous proposal is ever seriously considered here, then all those "parents" will have a wealth of employment offers to choose from as the rest of us will be quitting and living off Centrelink payments as all these salt-of-the-earth family types do now. Thought this was an April Fools Days article until i saw the time of publication. Idicy seemingly has no bounds
- Harry of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 2:42pm
In a world where over population (maybe not as big an issue in Australia) looks like it will be a huge issue in the future, why would you want to push people to have children. I already think that as a nonparent we are paying taxes that go to fund public schools and other child care services that don't have any benefit to us, why tax us even more?
- Don'tLikeCostsDon'tBreed of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:44pm
People choose to have children so they should pay for them, that's the way it has always been done! My parents had 6 kids and PAID to bring us all up, making sacrifices along the way so why is it these days people breed but then seem to expect everyone else to pay for their kids and resent having to make changes to their budgets? You get a pet you pay for it. You get a house you pay for it. You get a car you pay for it. So why is it you have a kid and everyone else pays for it??? Stop placing YOUR RESPONSIBILITY on everyone else!
- yourchildyoupay of canberra Posted at 02/04/2014 2:44pm
We all make choices in life If you want kids then you should pay for them...I don't care how much it cost, yes life tough...get over it. Don't expect me to pay for your lifestyle choices... And for those about to say..."some people don't choose to have kids it just happens" go on the pill, wear a condom.very simple. If you don't and you produce a child, learn to live with your action. I mean both men and women there, it takes two to make a child...your both responsible... And for the crowd who say "My child will be looking after you when your old" Yes...and they will charge me a bucket load to do it...not out of any good will or that I was forced to pay more tax and get nothing back from the government because I didn't want children, just have a look at the pension scheme...bludgers on welfare get a pension...someone paying tax their whole life with super will get nothing. User pays..the only fair system. I work to live not live to work and I don't work for you to live....
- Ditzy of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:45pm
You want to breed, you pay for it. It is NOT my responsibility. I choose to be childless so I can live the way I want. Selfish? Yes, my choice? YES!!!
- Robz of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:45pm
It's probably different in America but here in Australia aren't the taxes of the childless already being used to provide a financial support to those with children through things like the Baby Bonus and Family Tax Breaks? Not to mention in some workplaces that the childless cover for the leave needed to be taken by parents to tend to their sick children and picking up the extra workload - after all the work still needs to be done. Usually it is the childless expected to do the unpaid overtime, thereby missing out on things they consider priorities (eg important occasions with family and friends which are not seen as important as occasions with children)
- Jason of Vaucluse Posted at 02/04/2014 2:47pm
Hell no! Having kids is a life choice, and there already plenty of government handouts that weren't around 20 years ago for lower income parents today. As this is an American idea, I assume Americans don't have the Baby Bonus? Don't have kids that you can't afford. I'm a single 30 year old male in the top income bracket, believe me, I pay enough tax. The left over is my Vegas and Skiing money, not your "I want kids I can't provide for" fund. We all have choices, and if you chose kids over disposable income, that's your business, don't make it mine.
- Human with a brain of Adelaide Posted at 02/04/2014 2:47pm
Are you kidding? Lets tax those who choose wait and ensure they are financially capable of affording to have kids in order to pay those who chose to have children when they can't afford it. Lets stop giving money for nothing to the people who chose to make bad decisions.
- Chris Adelaide of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:48pm
Hello?? Lets get it right people! In Australia that already happens - Its called Family Tax Benefit! Singles and childless couples do not get this benefit (tax rebate) but pay tax to finance it! Families & single mothers / fathers do get this (not to mention other handouts!). In addition various other rebates and Medicare levy surcharge (and private health insurance rebate) are means tested & adjusted by the number of children in a family. The childless do not receive these benefits either. Thus in Australia childless people already pay to support people with children. This story is therefore a story about nothing. It already happens here. Think before you print. Get it right news.com!
- Toni Jesson of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 2:49pm
No way! I have children and that is my own decision. What if you can't have children and then face the misery of being taxed for that. NO.
- Perth worker of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:52pm
I just cant stop laughing, what a silly thing to say. Yes I am childless by choice, but I also pay a large amount of my earnings in tax, as not having had a family I have concentrated on my career. Remember it is a choice, choice ,choice whether to have children or not.
- very happy of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:54pm
What nonsense. You birth em you pay for em.
- Emily of Posted at 02/04/2014 2:57pm
No. No. So many ways no. You choose to have a child, you can deal with the consequences. Can't afford them? Don't have them! Not to mention how cruel it would be to tax those who aren't childless by choice...
- Not fair of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 2:58pm
I don't think that's fair. I can't have kids due to medical condition and my medical expenses would out way the price of having a child! Weekly doctors trips, specialists and expensive medication. I struggle enough with these bills. Let alone adding an extra tax to make it even better!
- SIrwin of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 3:00pm
People have children because they 'want them'. I am not giving up more of my hard earned wage just because someone finds it necessary to breed.
- Andrew R of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 3:00pm
Being a single male who cannot find a proper partner, that article is nothing but absolute outrage!
- Todd Grieve of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 3:05pm
What a disgraceful notion. Spare a thought for the couples who want to start a family but can not have one, be it for medical, financial, psychological or personal opinion. Before more couples start bringing a child into the world, instead of offering them subsidies for their 'breeding rights' why dont we educate them properly in all of the cons associated with having children. If couples can not support a family financially, emotionally or physically they should not be starting a family period.
- Wigs of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:08pm
Define childless. A coupe who try for years to conceive with no success? Yes let's rub their face in it by whacking an extra tax on them. What about empty nesters like my wife and me? Our kids have left home, so presumably its time to cough up. This is something I would have expected as an article on April fools day..... you're late!
- KatieB of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:21pm
We already pay more! Costs for children for things like cinema tickets, health insurance etc are all highly subsidised by adults - despite there being no difference in the cost to provide the service to adults vs children. This would only encourage more people who shouldn't be parents to breed, while penalising further those who wish to be parents who do not have the opportunity
- CA of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:22pm
Be responsible for your actions - if you have a heap of kids you cost us more so you pay more . Why should those who choose not to have kids support those who do. It is ridiculous suggestion to say you pay more tax because you don't have kids . The problem in this Country is that those who have a bunch of kids quite often never work and live off the Taxpayer. How about paying people a bonus to be neutered - they would lined up for miles to get their hands on the dollars and we would be far better off
- Rikki of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:22pm
Absolutely NOT !! My husband and I chose not to have children... we met later in life and simply couldnt afford to have them anyway plus who knows whether I can actually have them ?!?!? So you still want to tax us !!??? You better bloody not !!
- Miles of Adelaide Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
What a stupid idea. I have kids and I don't expect anybody else to be paying for my lifestyle choice.
- J of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
Seriously?! Childless people should pay less tax as they are actually placing less of a burden on the state. This contention is an absolute joke.
- No Kids of Not in your back pocket so get out of mine Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
I'm sorry, I have never read a bigger load of crap. You chose to have the freakin children, why should I be penalised for your CHOICE?
- childless by choice of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
NO NO NO!! Not only do we have to cover the slack so parents can stay home with their sick children and not have to attend out of hours work events, now we have to pay for their kids?!? The high cost of raising a child is why we don't have them. Now we're still going to get slugged with some of the costs. As a high school teacher, I may consent to good parents who give a rat's arse about their children getting some of my extra tax dollars, but not the ones who whine about having to supervise homework and who don't support their child's education as they're too busy taking their kids out of school for holidays to Bali!
- trey linn of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
How much will I get paid for all the free child care I offer my friends and family then? It takes a village to raise a child, not just the parents, so then the whole village should be taxed less!!!
- Laucian of Wollongong Posted at 02/04/2014 3:23pm
I have made the conscious decision never to have kids for both financial, medical, and environmental reasons. Do a quick search on VHEMT if you want to learn about the environmental aspect. If I am forced to pay for someone else's bad decision I will just turn around and resort to other measures to equalise the difference in taxation. I work hard to what I earn and if someone wants a bigger slice of my pie there has to be some benefit in it for me like preferential treatment or sanctions against parents as I am a higher paying member of society then. I wouldn't mind children under 10 and parents no longer legally allowed in movie theatres.
- SJ of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:24pm
Absurd and I have kids!!
- Fair Minded of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 3:30pm
Childless taxpayers ALREADY subsidize those with children to the tune of billions. Does this article propose we increase the amount those with children are subsidized. No. Not fair. Having children is a person choice and there are plenty enough unfortunate people who would love to raise children but who simply cannot due to some form of disadvantage: socioeconomic, health reasons etc
- Jo of Brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 3:31pm
It has been my choice not to have children. Why should I have to pay more tax than someone, who of the majority, decides to have children. It isn't a shock that kids are expensive! If they can't afford to have them, then don't.
- DL of QLD of QLD Posted at 02/04/2014 3:31pm
I can't have children so thanks for rubbing salt into that wound! We already pay enough in our taxes for those with children in family tax breaks, baby bonuses, childcare subsidies etc, so no way will I pay more. I would leave the country if it came to that - and take my savings with me!
- david mcinnes of potato point Posted at 02/04/2014 3:31pm
My wife and I have made a conscious decision not to bred as we feel the planet is already over populated. We already fund other people children (education, child care, medical...) through the current tax system. If you chose to have children you should budget for it.
- Wendy of Toowoomba Posted at 02/04/2014 3:31pm
The government is not your babies daddy! I am single and childless in my late 30's. I have upgraded my education to ensure I can support myself as there are no government handouts for me. Why should I, through circumstances I did not choose, have to pay more tax to support others with children, who's household income could be substantially more than mine. I think those without children should get the bonus as we haven't put extra strain on the hospital & education systems
- Daniel of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 3:31pm
Sirwin of Perth, "I am not giving up more of my hard earned wage just because someone finds it necessary to breed". I think you will find it is necessary if you want a pension later in life or for the species to continue. How else without children will this country / species suvive?
- WakeUpAustralia of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
Great idea! If your single and against it then don't ask for a penny off my children when there out working to subsidize your retirement benefits. Better still get ready to spend your money on the tonne of immigrants you will need to be paying taxes to help pay for your medicine, travel and other benefits when you are old. Oh and that doctor, nurse or specialist you need, well he or she was someones kid whose parents saved for their education and supported them through life. Those "children" your saying are someone else's responsibility are your future whether you brought them up or not, time to start paying a little more to help those who are supplying your taxable labour force for tomorrow.
- Darren Hayward of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
Ah that already happens......if you look at what a couple with children pay in tax compared to what the rest of us pay.......well we are already paying for couples with children. How is this even news? No one should be surprised that people who choose to have children already get the money we pay. I never really understood it.
- Andrew of Happy with no children.. Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
Single people of Australia carry the tax burden of this country as it is, we get no hand outs like families do. Children not only cost money they suck the soul from you as well.
- Michael of Adelaide Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
The childless already pay more tax than those with children due to family tax benefits and other payments being received by parents. Whether Person X receives an extra dollar or a dollar is taken off Person Y the net result is the same between the two. The proposal being presented is already implemented.
- Paul of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
Heck no! This is absolutely disgusting. Many young people are putting off having children until later in their lives so that they can focus on having a solid career which will enable them to buy a house and comfortably support their growing family in the future. Why the heck should we punish them for taking the best approach towards preparing for a family?
- Childless single by choice of Australia Posted at 02/04/2014 3:32pm
What a totally ridiculous suggestion - this story infuriates me to no end!
- Alan of melb of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:33pm
Totally agree childless couples should pay more. However they should also should get massive rebates for the lost love, support, pleasure and family networks those that have children get. Get real people - having children does not make you a victim - swings and roundabouts to what ever decisions you make or life deals out.
- Dave of Mid North Coast Posted at 02/04/2014 3:33pm
I already pay higher taxes as I receive no rebates or have no deductions as a single worker. The biggest problem is people expect to have more these days. 20 yrs ago families had one car, one phone, one tv and so on. These days they have 2 cars, a motorbike, home phone, 4 mobiles, home Internet, mobile Internet, 6 TV's and the list could go on. Don't tax me more because many people can't budget properly and live within their means!
- GimmeAbreak of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:33pm
Oh! look at those 20 somethingâs taking selfies, drinking and playing video games when there are hard working families out there who cant afford shoes. Give me a break. Family incentives should be placed elsewhere instead of pulling from/punishing people who either A) Cannot for whatever reason have kids or B) made a decision not to.
- can I pay more taxes please? NOT of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:33pm
This should have been published on april 1st.. then I would have linked it to a fools joke. Life is about choices. Do as suggested and i just might resign and go on dole. Someone else can pay my tax. We pay enough in this country. Paying tax on already taxed funds is an inspiration to us all. NOT!!!!!!!!
- Todd of Rich-ville Posted at 02/04/2014 3:35pm
I don't bloody think so!!!! U want kids - U pay for them!!! I made my choice NOT to have kids so I can enjoy an flashy lifestyle. You chose kids for whatever reason - and good luck to you - but I already pay enough tax to supplement the poor thanks.
- Kegs of Sydney Posted at 02/04/2014 3:35pm
I dont get it... if you cant afford to have kids... DONT HAVE THEM! As many people have said in their comments - some people just cant have kids, yet they will be punished because of that. Or those who cannot afford kids and CHOOSE not to bring a child into this world so they are not brought up having to go without, should also not be punished for it. Families currently get tax breaks that childless do not...Where is my bonus of $5000 for NOT having a baby and contributing to the over-population of this planet?
- Tony of Elwood Posted at 02/04/2014 3:35pm
People with kids already get family tax benefits. So childless tax payers are already getting short changed.
- Totti York of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:35pm
I've chosen not to have kids, and the cost of raising them played no small part in that descision. So, no. Childless couples already pay more tax- no family benefit, dependants allowance or handouts. If anything, I'd rather parents pay for the choices they make and the tax system be equalised.
- Sari of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:36pm
As a professional couple, early 30s who have cannot have kids and get no help from the government but are in no way rich, paying more taxes so the breeders can get more for doing less horrifies me. Already, I see so many children being dragged around by mothers who couldn't care less about them all so they could get their baby bonus at the time and buy a xbox or whatever frivolous things they waste there money on except providing adequate care (and shoes) for there many children. Just because you can reproduce doesn't mean life should be handed to you on a platter. Work hard for what you earn and you will appreciated it more. Children are a gift (if you are so lucky to have them) and NOT a tax break!!!
- Jamie of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:36pm
We already are: No Child Support Payments, No Baby Bonus etc....
- Kym of Perth Posted at 02/04/2014 3:36pm
And exactly who's kids can I lob in on when I'm aged for a Sunday roast and to take me to the doctor etc. why should the childless subsidise the living expenses of people with children anymore than they already do? We already pay for half their childcare and the higher incomes we 'enjoy' are taxed as such. Given personal income tax accounts for a fraction of government take, why not just increase corporate taxes or carve off other handouts? You can't apply US thinking with its woeful welfare system to a country like Australia
- Cassandra of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:36pm
As a 21 year old that has just entered the work force after university and already above the threshold that would be taxed more, I say this would be extremely unfair. To call me a childless professional is ridiculous because only a few years ago I was a "child" myself. Don't punish those who have gotten themselves an education and a good job more than they already are.
- Sean of North Queensland Posted at 02/04/2014 3:36pm
Why should I be punished for not wanting children? The bottom line is that if you cannot afford kids - dont have kids! Den't expect someone else (ie the govt) to cough up!
- The Silver Fox McScrooge of Brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 3:38pm
Childless tax payers already pay more. No family tax benefits. They pay their share of tax to support school and medical services for children they don't have. No benefits of family trust arrangements etc etc etc.
- andrew of Australia Posted at 02/04/2014 3:39pm
- Ben of melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:39pm
aaaaaah no When the family tax benefit, taxpayer funded education and childcare, medicare etc (which the childless infrequently access), all go then maybe. for now I already pay too much tax thanx very much.
- Tanya I of Brisbane Posted at 02/04/2014 3:40pm
I 100% agree with Todd Grieve of Perth. The suggestion of childless workers paying extra tax for couples with children disgusts me. Having children is a choice. If you can't afford to pay for children then don't have them. I made a choice not to have children and I shouldn't be punished for that choice. My taxes should not go towards funding for paid parental leave, baby bonuses, tax breaks etc etc. Whatever choices you make in life should not be paid for by other people. My taxes should be used towards health, infrastructure, education - not making it easier for people who have chosen to breed, or who were not smart enough to use birth control. I also have ensured I have enough Superannuation when I retire so AGAIN, I am not being a burden to others. I've never expected a handout - I've worked my whole life to get the things I want and never expected others to pay for my choices. No one should expect others to pay for their choices.
- N CO of Melbourne Posted at 02/04/2014 3:40pm
As a single gay man, I dont have or want kids but under the current tax system, there are already too many benifits for the breeders. Why should we have to pay more so that people can keep having 4,5 or 6 or more kids. When has the government ever thought of us. Being on a single income is hard enough to be able to afford a house these days. If we start paying more money, we will never have anything left when we retire... would those kids then pay for us when we are old and retired - NO...
- NJ of Singapore Posted at 02/04/2014 3:40pm
Glad to see not one comment here actually agrees with this ridiculous notion. If anything, we should go the other way, scrap the benefits and handouts to families, starting with the baby bonus and Family tax benefit A and B. I won't be coming back until tax rates are lower.
- Doh Mar of Adelaide, SA Posted at 02/04/2014 3:41pm
What a load of crap. I'm not working my backside off so someone else can start a family. If you can't afford children, DONT HAVE THEM! Get the income before rutting mindlessly, plan your lift. Stop expecting the govt and others to pay for your procreation.
- Oh the outrage of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:42pm
This already happens in Australia...I would be happy to pay extra tax if all of the concessions/benefits currently paid to families were done away with, like in America. It is really one or the other, extra help for families from tax funds, or less of a tax burden to help them cover the cost, to have both would be inefficient.
- Peter of Posted at 02/04/2014 3:42pm
To those of you that have talked about your choice not to breed I say thank goodness. I have never seen such a load of ill informed drivel. I would suggest to quite a few of you that before making statements perhaps you should just check your facts. Just because you say something does not make it true. And to those saying they cannot afford it the story was talking about high income earners only.
