Coalition proposes grandparents allowance for childcare
Former Liberal education minister Alan Tudge has proposed a "Grandparents Allowance" that would provide $160 fortnightly payments to grandparents caring for grandchildren more than 20 hours per week. The report also suggests single-income families should receive a $4000 annual tax cut through an increased tax-free threshold. This Coalition policy proposal presents an alternative to Labor's current three-day-a-week subsidised childcare guarantee.
