Should parental leave payments increase based on the mother's wage?

No, but parental leave should be available to both parents from their employer based on their current rate of pay, in addition to a universal parental payment system from the government for singles (and additional accounts for couples), regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

Parental leave payments should be payed by the employer at 100% of their normal wage. Should apply to both mothers and fathers

Yes it should be equal to the pay of the parent or carer taking the leave

Instate a NPTP (Negative Paternal Tax Payment) which pays out a proportional amount based on income during times of Paternal leave.

Parental leave should be higher in all positions, preferably the max amount of money available whether that's the same for everyone or not.

i support the pirate party

Yes and increase the duration of leave to 2 years

No, instead all mothers going on parental leave should be given the same amount -per child-.

Yes a certain percentage of a person's wage should be given but there should be a minimum set wage all mothers should get and if the percentage of their wage is higher they receive the percentage of their wage but if the percentage of their wage is lower than the set amount then they receive the set amount. The set weekly amount should be higher than it currently is.

No, but if it was it should be determined by a percentage of BOTH parents wages combined.

Yes but increase it based on the primary carer's wage or salary regardless of gender.

Yes and make it easier for men to get parental leave payment

The company should pay for the parental leave at a percentage between 75-100% of their salary. Especially if they have been with the company for years and are working full time.

No, and parental leave shouldn't be widely needed anyway since traditional parental roles should be promoted.

Yes, and it should also apply to same sex couples.

It should be illegal for women to enter the workforce

No, but increase the equal pay amount and duration of leave, and provide equal leave for fathers

Yes, but it should be taken based off of the primary caretaker of the child, which may not necessarily be the mother

No, all mothers should get paid the same amount. equal pay amount and duration of leave for mothers or fathers should be increased

Only in the respect of meeting their basic living needs (eg rent payments etc). And this shouldnt be reflected by inadequately low payments for low income earners either

Increased based on the wage of primary carer.

no government to provide a liveable payment the employer will pay the rest

No, all mothers and fathers should get paid the same amount.

parental leave payments should be equal for all genders, doesnt neccessarily need to be increased.

Yes, and extend this to father's wage as well.

It should be based on primary carer this is not always the mother

Yes, and parental leave payments should be applied to fathers too.

All mothers should be paid higher leave

Yes, and also father's who are on parental leave should receive the same

Parental leave should be standard for all parents, not just mothers.

Yes, parental leave should be linked to tax paid

Yes, women who are working in higher paid jobs have contributed higher taxes therefore they should benefit from a higher parental leave amount.

Paid parental leave should be available to all parents, and ought to be proportional to the wages earned. Measures should be in place to encourage both parents to take leave, as has been trialed in Scandinavian countries.

no, it should be based on the individuals living expenses

Increase the same amount for everyone regardless of wage

All benefits and wages should be freely negotiated between employee and employer.

Parental leave should only apply to those under the poverty line

It should only increase if they earn a lower wage and decrease if they earn a higher wage

No, All parental leave workers should get paid what they were working if they are in a permanent work role. This shouldn't change as the government already gives to much money away through 'income supports'

Yes, if they're employed they should be paid their normal wages by their employer instead.

No, it shouldn't be based only on the mother's pay

Yes, but capped at a certain amount

Equal pay should be available to males and females, some women do not intend on having children. Those earning higher wages should be entitled to a higher rate however this should be discussed with their individual workplace.

If the primary breadwinner is the mother, and they usually have a salary over $150k, they should be entitled to parental leave payments if they don’t get parental leave payments from their employer or they have a significant reduction in income. Also need to extend parental leave entitlement beyond 18 weeks and have equal access and payment processes for mothers and fathers

No, but paternity leave should be introduced in a similar manner

No, but super contributions should remain aligned to mothers wage or higher

An equitable system should be place based on what each family needs

No, but be based off individual cost of living

Yes because they are contributing more to the community through taxes. If it’s not percentage based, then everyone should pay the same taxes and not have that being percentage based.

No, government maternal leave payments should be equal for all women regardless. (Some companies already provide additional maternal leave payments to retain female staff.)

Yes, but maybe on a rolling average over a nominated number of years to prevent the privileged abusing the scheme.

No, should be based on family income and costs of supporting a new baby

Parental leave payments need to be based on the parent who is going on leave, income

Should be based on household income rather than primary caregivers.

Dear Webmaster: This question is need of maintenance

Parental payments should be based on the total family income not just the mothers wage.

Parental leave should be gender neutral

All mothers should get paid the same amount, but they should get paid more for a longer period of time.

It’s ridiculous that women are expected to take the time off. Should be equal time off for both partners or nominate the primary and secondary. Should be somewhat proportional to their wage but at least minimal wage.

No, it should be based on the household.

Yes, but it should increased based on both parent’s wages.

Increase the pay

I don’t lnow

The payment should increase based on wage and circumstance, and it should apply to anyone who leaves work to care for a child. E.g. parents, guardians, caregivers, single parents, adoptive parents.

This should be left to private businesses.
