The online petition by parents of babies due from Aug - Dec 08:
www.petitiononline.com/mums2008/petition.html
The media has been reporting on issues like how people are pleased with the new goodies dished out, for eg: the IVF subsidies & tax reliefs. There're also reports on how employers are concerned that the 4th month of maternity leave will affect work efficiency. However, these only serve to reflect & emphasize the kindness of the government. I've yet to see any reports on the disappointment felt by many other people affected which has been taking root since 1pm on 20 Aug 2008.
It leaves me to wonder if this online petition will see any changes or make any difference. This is a big enough issue for the media to pick up on. However if there's no squeak about this in the media, then we all know for sure what's going on behind the scenes. *Evil Snigger*
