Middle income families spend a great deal more on their children and receive vastly less government assistance with a net cost of $375 per week and a lifelong cost of $449,513. The high income family spends $734 per week and receives, on average, just $1 per week in assistance.n our first report back in 2002 we found that it cost a typical family $448,000 to raise two children from birth until they left home (Percival and Harding, 2002). In our 2007 report we found that this cost had increased to $537,000 (Percival et al, 2007).
THE offices of Australia's former prime ministers are costing more than $50,000 a week to run on top of an annual pension bill exceeding $1 million.John Howard's office is the most expensive, with expenses averaging $850,000 a year over the last term of government, an investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has found.r Howard's expenses blew out well in excess of the other four former prime ministers no longer in Parliament thanks to a $450,000 office refit in 2008/09 to his swanky digs in Sydney's MLC building, which already costs nearly $14,000 a month to rent.
