The article on parental leave in Wikipedia gives the leave entitlement for new mothers (and often fathers) in different countries.
I never knew how generous other countries were! I scanned through the column, gobsmacked. I’m so ashamed that Australia is only one of three countries with ‘zero’ in its column for number of weeks of paid maternity leave. The other two offenders are USA and Papua New Guinea.
Shame, Australia, shame!
OMG! SHOCKING! I always had the impression that we are giving at least 1 month parental leave!
