Australia has introduced an 18 week paid parental leave scheme which is publicly funded and provides the federal minimum wage (currently A$596.78 per week) rather than a percentage of the primary caregiver's salary. It is not be available to families where the primary caregiver has an annual salary above $150,000 per annum. Learn more or
Parental leave should be for both mothers and fathers. But it should not be based on income, everyone should be paid the same amount.

Mother's expensive is the stay home base with their children and belonging working style is the income can afford most of whanau beging inc

@9J78RN2 3mos3MO
Equal pay rise rolled and unions staff members of careers moves and nurse registration by the start to end of the years reigns supreme
@9G4QD926mos6MO
No, pay mothers to raise their children up to 2 years old which are the most crucial years of their life
@9F97QYFOpportunities7mos7MO
Should be covered by a UBI
Parental leave should be paid or shared between both parents and the leave should be extended to a year
parental leave payments should be made as at the wage that they would be missing out on. whether this is the mother or the father taking parental leave.
Should be determined by primary care givers wage not mother's.
Yes, but up to a certain amount.
@9F3R2C2New Zealand First7mos7MO
Yes, and make parents of large families pay less taxes
Yes but not limited to the mother. It is determined by who is the stay at home care giver.
yes there should be a minimum payout, however those who were extremely qualified and had high wages, should have higher payments
Yes, but there should be a minimum payout to support those who need it. Nobody should be penalised for success.
Based on the income of the parent that takes the leave
@9DY67SBFreedoms New Zealand8mos8MO
Based on a current living wage
The payment should match the current wage they receive.
This question is sexist as it assumes the mother will use parental leave.
@9DTZCFN8mos8MO
To a certain degree, bracket system.
@9DNBMRR8mos8MO
Yes, however for those who are low income there should be a base which allows for parents to be paid
@9DG7XFM8mos8MO
Yes, but more important is to improve paternity rights (pay reflecting the father's income and length of time should be flexible to allow at least equal leave to the mother)
@9D9KZBQ8mos8MO
All mothers should get paid the same unless they are the only breadwinners.
@9D8XSGD8mos8MO
yes, It should also be extended to the father if the mother is not eligible.
@9D8K7M78mos8MO
I do not have an opinion on this matter.
@9D8FVKF8mos8MO
It should be based on both parents income
@9FR834D7mos7MO
This should be increased on both parents wages combined with equal maternal & paternal leave for up to 2 years per child.
yes, or maybe if they have a higher salary they can chose a percentage or something like that
@9FND2527mos7MO
Parental leave should be based on what wage you receive and the increase should come from the government for new born.
Be based off your own wage your on
@9FLBCY6New Zealand First7mos7MO
Yes, and the father's wage aswell
@9FJHB8P7mos7MO
Yes, and increase the length of the payments and the amount of leave for all mothers
If paid by the employer, they can be paid whatever the employer sees fit.
Based on the parental wage. Not all mothers take paternity leave
No, it should be based on a guaranteed universal income and up to employers to choose whether to further incentivise or not
@9F9CH2Q7mos7MO
Parental leave payments should increase based on the amount of children a cared for, and whether that parent is the sole earner in their family.
@9DD7FQ78mos8MO
Yes, the pay should match the wage of the mother before going on leave
Yes, but to an extent, with a cap. If the mother was the primary source of economy for the family, then this should be recognised somewhat
@9D7QDN68mos8MO
Parental leave payments should be based on the needs of the specific person the payment is going to
@9D7BNHQ8mos8MO
Down to company policy but there should be legal minimum pay.
It should depend on how many children they have and how much of their income previously was going toward supporting their children.
@9D4TSBV9mos9MO
The government can't afford to subsidize the richest mothers who probably least need the money. But the "cap" should be raised somewhat, but the maximum time (unless otherwise agreed between the employer and employee) should remain 12 months.
@9C2K3PS11mos11MO
No, parental leave should be based on cost of living.
@9BN2Z3H12mos12MO
All parents who take leave to support their new baby should get the same amount whatever their gender
@98KKR5Z1yr1Y
Yes, but the leave payments should increase for the birth giver, not necessarily mother as this rules out gender diverse parents, and we should also increase the equal pay amount and duration of leave as well
@94FYB9V2yrs2Y
Should be up to 80% of yearly salary,
@94BLN8N2yrs2Y
