i refuse to answer your question as it is off topic and completely fails to recognise my distress at becoming a mother.

:) the maternity payment is currently at $4133, paid within 28 days of your claim (although you would get it a lot sooner than that). i think it increases by $1000 next financial year??? not sure. also, a lot of families would be eligible for other regular payments like Family Tax Benefit Part A/Part B/both.

oh, and one other thing...
i saw on today tonight once these grubby bitches who got pregnant to get the maternity payment, and were saying things like
"I fink we should get it every year!" and "I'm goin' on a shoppin' schpreeee!"

me? i'm saving/paying pediatrician bills (private hospital system is expensive...MBF pays little if anything back. but after having my baby where i did i would never even consider going through the public system).

just thought you'd be interested...

Apparently they are now bringing in that rather than pay you the whole lot at once, they are going to do it in installments...? Atleast I think that's what they were talking about doing...

At least its kinda reasuring for someone if they are going to have a kid... I mean, if they have no other income, at least centerlink can help them till, they can do something else.... its times like that, that i do like centerlink, however i think it sucks when someone stuffs up, so the rest of us have to pay.

Also i hope you are at least getting some sleep laura, if i was down there, i would definantly babysit/ help you out :D.... plus it also gives me a good excuse to buy childish things :D

Hello Laura-Kate!
It's Merilla! (obviously, haha)
I would very much like to visit you next week. I'll give you a call to make sure that it's a good time to pop in first though.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not contagious anymore, hooray! But I could bathe myself in dettol / deodorize myself with Glen 20 before visiting... Just to be on the safe side. Hehe :)
I miss you a lot, and I keep thinking about you on buses, wondering how you're doing.
Well, just wanted to say "hallo" and let you know that I'll be in contact.
