Positive, but unintended consequence of the Breeder's Bonus

It would give all families with a newborn and earning less than $150,000 a year, a payment of $60 a week through to the baby's first birthday

David Cunliffe's policy today has been described as the Breeders' Bonus

A positive, but probably unintended consequence.
