Option 1: Abolish government-funded paid parental leave and the child care subsidy, taking into account the party’s tax policy of a $40,000 tax free threshold and a 20% flat tax rate thereafter, and the party’s welfare and savings account polices, which restrict eligibility for welfare payments.

Option 2: As above, but maintain the existing child care subsidy entitlement where the parent/guardian with the lowest taxable income has table income at or below $85,000, and reduce the existing child care subsidy entitlement by 2 per cent for every additional $1,000, so that no subsidy is paid where the parent/guardian with the lowest table income has table income at or below $135,000. Remove qualification and child-to-carer ratio requirements on providers.

Option 3: as per Option 2, but remove child care subsidy with respect to a child under 18 weeks old.
