Falling Fertility Rates Causes Government To Offer Tax Breaks For 2000s-Style RnB Nightclubs

New data has shown that Australia’s fertility rate has fallen to its lowest level in history, dropping to just 1.48 births per woman.

This news doesn't come as a surprise to young people but appears to terrify their parents who desperately want to have grandkids even if they have to be raised in lego-land apartment blocks in sprawling new suburbs that have no services, transport options or schools.

Despite this, Australia's official population has surged past 28 million this month, mostly due to migration which is being treated as an economic gap-filler to create future taxpayers to support an ageing post-war population.

This concerning new data explains the intersection of cultural anxieties, with progressive Australians so tormented by the climate crisis and housing affordability that they are left questioning whether it's even appropriate to bring children into a world of natural disasters and limited economic opportunities.

Meanwhile, the right-wing are starting to rumble when it comes a perceived loss of Australian identity - as workplaces, schools and local communities are now dependent on a unprecedented wave of migrants to simply remain operational.

However, with the birthrate sitting at just 1.48 - the imminent economic woes far outweigh the cultural concerns.

While the media places the blame on Australian women watching too much Sex and The City, and refusing to settle down, the fact remains that having children is simply not affordable.

Housing, childcare, and day to day cost of living stresses means that traditional family milestones are not achievable in modern Australia.

Therefore, the government has decided to focus on the age-old population booster known as the unplanned pregnancy.

"We are bringing back RnB nightclubs" said Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

"We want young people bumping and grinding and all up on each other in the club"

The government's aimed is to resuscitate the once wildly popular Australian past time of getting knocked up on a night out, by offering tax breaks to any hospitality operators that want to open up 2000s-style RnB nightclubs.

"Remember 'Confessions' by Usher?" said Finance Minister Katy Gallagher.

"Remember Mya's 'Case Of The Ex'?"

"What about Tupac's 'How Do U Want It' featuring K-Ci & JoJo??"

"This is the exact atmosphere we want to create to enable a baby boom"
