We don't want to make Asia Europe, but Australia's here.

Let's keep Australia Australia.

I don't think we need to, we basically need to, yeah.

I think we need to be more pro-Christianity, okay, in a cultural sense at least, okay?

We should be saying, look, Christian countries, people, for whatever reason, do tend to want to live in Christian countries.

So why don't we sort of celebrate that a bit more than we do?

Well, look, I'll tell you the best policy I think that we could have to increase kids, and I'm with you.

This is potentially a catastrophe for Western civilisation.

The best policy is to do this income splitting.

So mum and dad, let's say dad's working, mum's not working, that they treat, let's say dad's on 100 grand, but mum's not earning anything, then the tax office will treat them as both earning 50,000 bucks.

So we do that.

And then we say the more kids you have, the lower your tax rate.

So let's say the tax rate's roughly 30%.

Okay, after your second kid, 25%.

Fourth kid, 20%.

Fifth kid, 15%.

They are.

That's where I got it from.

Fantastic, okay.

And I think it's working in Hungary.
