 Don’t worry though, there are families living off of welfare helping to balance out the birth rate.. Extra child support for each kid plus get them assessed for autism to get NDIS.. I know of one such family that is up to 6 kids now.. 
 A year ago the stat was 11% of boys aged <5 are on NDIS which is just a ridiculous figure. If you’re a politician and you hear that 1-in-10 boys are on disability and you dont drop everything to get to the bottom of that immediately (they haven’t, there has been nothing mentioned since), what fucking good are you to the country?

Australia is playing out the opening scene of Idiocracy.
