Home schoolers win dole respite

EMPLOYMENT Minister Bill Shorten has intervened to assure single mothers on the parenting payment who home school their children that they will not be forced on to the dole next January like other single parents.

The government is hoping to save close to $700 million over four years by moving single mothers from the more generous parenting payment to Newstart when their child turns eight.
