Federal child endowment plan aims to aid all children
The government plans universal child endowment of five shillings weekly for every child under fourteen, regardless of income. It would replace the current tax deduction and impact high earners, with Cabinet working toward details and likely passage after Menzies returns. The scheme, influenced by New South Wales, could exceed £11 million, with opposition leader Curti cautiously supportive and industry groups mixed on wage effects.
