Chloe and Beans

[Director of Mugs]

Chloe really loves to troll. 10 kids is enough. You see when they go to the park the older kids have to watch the younger kids, while Chloe watches.

I don't know how they can afford to look after 12 people. Everything is getting more and more expensive and the health system is struggling.

Centrelink

Has to be. As Ro doesn’t work.

Plus I think you get some form of allowance for home schooling.

High school dropout homeschooling a tribe of multi aged kids is not a flex.
I shudder to think how those kids would even fit in with a class of students the same age as themselves.

Sorry so weird that all the eldest 3 boys do everyday is hang out in playgrounds with their younger siblings. Any other kids their ages would not find that fun. Chloe and Ro have genuinely stunted them.

Does anyone know how benefits work in Australia? If they lived in the U.K. Ro and Chloe would be expected to look for work.

Surely they make too much on social media to classify for benefits?

Someone said before it was 270 AUS dollars every 2 weeks, PER CHILD lol

...which is 5k a month. surely not.

Pervious posters have said that AUS is more generous compared to the UK.

 

[bettyscardigan]

5k Australian dollars is only 2.4k British pounds. That seems like nothing when you have 10 children.

They want 10 children they should work & support those 10 children & not rely on the government to pay for them. Some of that $5,000 would be better spent on the old age pensioners of this country.

 

[sparklingdee]

still, £2.4k isn't bad for 0 days work

 

[savefloss]

They would be getting home school allowance and family tax benefit parenting payments. I am sure they rented for so long because it was better financially than buying until recently as they got more benefits that way

 

[lilyflowerx]

I asked chatgpt and in their situation they would get around: AUD $5,123 or €2,870 or £2,490 for benefits/allowances. So yeah not bad for not working.

I think that much amongst 10 children is very little, that’s £240 per kid per month. Maybe my girls are just expensive . They’ve never taken those kids on holidays or to non-gifted trips. Just free playgrounds. What a life…

There are two main elements of Family Tax Benefit (FTB) in Australia:

1. Part A : Paid per child.

2. Paid per family, not per child.
Max rates:

• If youngest child <5 → up to $188.86/fortnight
• If youngest child 5–18 → up to $131.74/fortnight

Total: Part A × 10 + Plus one Part B

5k a month = ~60k AUS
