Hi :

I read your article today in yahoo finance about "The real cost Aussie families pay for having children" how you found a cost of $186 per week, per child these are totally wrong,

first, at all, We live in Australia, Sydney is a very expensive city how much is the cost of childcare? University studies, etc the minimum cost is around $400-500 per week that is the reality that doesn't lie to people with incorrect information.
To have a child is not only until 18 years old at least until 25 years also the cost of the houses, do you really think before to provide this kind of article in Finance yahoo?

I totally disagree with the lies advertised on this website.

Regards

- Not possible to attached pdf, word docs directly from my saved documents on my phone like Note in iOS, my documents. Only saved in iclouds and pictures etc.

2. When you have a long email exchanged, when you keep replying on the same thread of emails, it created lines on each emails and it is not so nice to see especially if you are using Yahoo email for office or work related purposes. I found it no useful for every profession, so I need to use Outlook which seems really for professional use.

3. I could not attached pictures also here so I could not give you in details what I encounter.

In the article 'Boosting welfare would just go to ‘drug dealers, pubs’: Minister', Lucy Dean wrote "...called for the rate of Newstart payments to be increased by $75, up from $559 a week." This should be $559 a fortnight.

The articles linked to this one state the correct rate, but there is a big difference between $250 a week and $500. People should not need to go to other articles to find the correct information, especially when it is so contradictory as to possibly create confusion.

To effectively participate in political and social discourse, people need correct information. This article may reinforce to people with existing prejudices against the unemployed that Newstart recipients actually have more than enough to live on and are just whining about wanting more. News outlets are not responsible for people's meanness or narrowness of mind, but it is important to ensure critical, easily-verifiable statements are correct so as not to provide fodder to those trying to demonise people on society's margins.
