Industrial Relation Reform may affect Australian mothers.

It is interesting to note the number of Australian women working in high level employment, without children. Are women willing to accept this career for kids trade off? Maybe you are not. But women need to think about how much time these types of careers require. Is it fair to bring a child into the world knowing that you are not going to have time to dedicate to it?
