Keep the couples Administrative Earnings Threshold for parents

Petition Details

We believe scrapping the couples Administrative Earnings Threshold, meaning non-working or low earning members of a couple can be required to comply with work search or take up offers of work, or face sanctions, is not ideal. One parent in the household should be allowed to raise their children.

Additional Information

I want the government to have a bit of empathy for us stay at home parents and allow our children to live comfortably knowing they have a parent present for them every single day and not have to miss out on valuable bonding time with their parent.

I believe women and men who are main care givers have the right to raise their babies, without any worries of not being present enough and worrying about if their children are being looked after correctly!
