Costello was so creepy with his #BabyBonus.
Better: Provide ongoing basic public services once the lil sprogs are out in the world. Such as fully funded:
🎓 State schools & unis/Tafe
🏥 Public health & hospitals
🏡 Affordable housing
And roll dental into #Medicare.

"Wait…the Trump regime is promising to deport a million people and many of them are of child-bearing age and also pay taxes? Why would they deport folks instead of offering them $5,000 to give birth?
I think you know.
When the regime speaks of wanting a baby boom, they mean a white baby boom. They mean white moms get a check for delivering a white baby."

"I know that abortion bans and child marriages are tied up in Christian nationalism, but they are also becoming alarmingly mainstream on the right with a wave of 'pro-natalism' and even an idea floated by Donald Trump to pay women $5,000 to have a baby."

Writing from her vantage point of growing up in rural Missouri and Arkansas, marrying at 18, becoming pregnant at 19 — "I couldn’t order a beer, but I could change a diaper" — and delivering a baby at 20, Jess Piper casts a cold eye on the pronatalist policies proposed by the Trump regime.
It's no accident, Piper says, that the folks most gung ho re: pronatalism are those rabidly opposing abortion but welcoming child brides.

Dr. #HaydeeBrown and Dr. #SonyaSloan sound the alarm on the Trump administration’s #WaronWomensHealth. They break down the chaos of funding the #WomensHealthInitiative, the return of #Authoritarian styled #BabyBonus policies, and the deeper political agenda behind it.

Trump TAKES AIM at women with ...
A $5,000 "baby bonus" for giving birth, like the Trump admin is reportedly considering, is a scam. It's like a payday loan.
According to 2024 research by KFF, "new mothers are twice as likely to have medical debt as young women who did not recently give birth." Even if you are fortunate enough to have good insurance, you're paying thousands of dollars out-of-pocket. And that assumes no complications. Do you need a C-section? Well pony up, because that'll be extra.

We didnt know she was a OneNation supporter, but even so, many are drawn to lower #populationGrowth parties for no other reason but to conserve our #environment and #biodiversity.
We should not be so prejudiced as to write people off, based on their perceived need to limit the sheer number of people corporations lobby to have pumped in for cynical ends. One could say the #populism in Howard's #BabyBonus and abuse of "#boatPeople" drove many to look at alternatives.
Stimulus checks: Bill would reinstate $300 monthly child payments, pay $2k "baby bonus"

Make no mistake though, the newcomers are often working their butts off harder than can be imagined too. The problem is how many people would be a reasonable number and what number is extreme and unsustainable.
Australia became irresponsible in 2003-2004 when our #populationGrowth obsessed PM at the time *tripled* the intake.
The warCriminal PM also ran a #BabyBonus (read: #bribe), and cynically allowed atrocities on #boatPeople to *appear* tough (admitted on RadioNational in 2014).
How in the world can we allow the #corporateMedia to even depict #JohnHoward in any kind of positive light.
We live on a desert island lacking large hills and mountains that could store water etc. and yet, he bribed people to procreate. It was called a #BabyBonus, he also abused refugees (cynically, admitted 2014 on #RadioNational) and increased #immigration to such extreme levels that it had the effect of draining our #productiveCapacity (see #holesAndHouses).
He'd be bet on an #imprisonList.

Fertility can go down with ethical access to family planning.
Instead many govt actively pursued #populationGrowth. In #Australia the conservative right party brought in a #BabyBonus *in this century* as well as increased immigration by insane levels, extra hundreds of thousands a year, simply to satisfy #contructionCartels, retailers like #GerryHarvey (very short term strategy given the effect on #CurrentAccount), suppress wages, and boost housePrices.

Ignore the nutters in the first toots.
Population doesn't necessarily solve itself w/o pain. Fertility booms happen when regimes pump narratives (Eg #Australia #babyBonus). Indeed see recent global spike.
11billion statement is dated. Due to spike new estimate =13b.
Yes, must be holistic, remember that poorer nations aspire to high consumption and migrate to such places.
COVID is teaching us that #exponentialGrowth is not good nor needed.
Yes, #womensEmpowerment is good.
