The Coalition will attempt to win over family and female voters by offering six months paid parental leave and giving nannies similar pay and conditions as childcare workers, reports say. Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is said to have approved development of the policy in an attempt to outdo Labor’s taxpayerfunded 18-week parental leave plan, Fairfax reports today. The move suggests Mr Abbott has changed his mind since advocating in his book Battlelines last year that parental leave be funded with a business levy. Opposition spokeswoman on early childhood education and childcare, Sharman Stone, has been tasked with drafting the new proposals. But the paper says they could potentially be more expensive than the Government’s 18-week national parental leave scheme, announced last week. -AAP CONTACT INDAILY Luke Cussans - Online producer lcussans@solsticemedia.com.au Danielle Forsyth - Journalist dforsyth@solsticemedia.com.au Malcom Turnbull has warned that Tony Abbott’s proposed emissions reduction fund is a recipe for fiscal recklessness and political pork barrelling. The former Opposition leader contrasted this with the Government’s trading scheme, which he described as ‘’a balanced, substantive and timely step forward’’. Union lashes out The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched its fourth prosecution in six months against the Transport Workers Union for breaching Howard-era Melissa Mack - Indaily AM editor mmack@solsticemedia.com.au The union has accused the Federal Government’s new watchdog of siding with employers and said it will fight the latest charges in court, the first time a prosecution for illegal industrial action has been challenged by a union. Melbourne Police investigate their own boss Police are investigating their own boss, who was involved in a car accident on Saturday. The Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, was driving the family car in when he was involved in an accident with another car. ‘’I believe I am the at-fault driver and I am as accountable as any other driver in the state,’’ he said.
