New South Wales (Australian) senator, David Leyonhjeim, has spoken out in support of childless couples (The Dominion Post, November 24, 2015).
He bemoans the cost of other people’s children to taxpaying childless couples.
What he doesn’t appear to have regard to is that other people’s children will help care for childless couples in their old age.
That’s if today’s children don’t (by economic triage) decide that it isn’t worth the cost.
