Assessing Childcare Affordability in Australia
Childcare is currently unaffordable for 386,000 Australian families or 39% of families who use childcare, a new report from Victoria University’s Mitchell Institute shows.
The Federal Government’s $1.7 billion changes to the childcare subsidy, which are due to take effect in July next year, will still leave childcare unaffordable for 336,000 (34%) of Australian families who use the childcare system.
It found that one in three families are spending more on childcare than groceries to feed their family and 85% of families are spending more on childcare than on their utility bills.
The report uses an international benchmark of no more than 7% of disposable income spent on childcare to determine childcare affordability for families.

Deterrence Assurance: The True Value of the Nuclear Triad
The Russians and the Chinese see nuclear weapons as their ticket to get the United States to stand down in a crisis.
In a new analysis published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in June, Princeton’s Professor Frank von Hippel proposes to unilaterally eliminate America’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) force. The ICBM force consists of some 64 percent of all U.S. strategic nuclear delivery vehicles allowed under New START and roughly 60 percent of U.S. on-alert warheads. What is his rationale? He makes a bogus claim that the United States relies upon a destabilizing ICBM launch on warning policy to execute its deterrence strategy.
