Background
Current law discriminates against:
-human right to family time
-families who are not wealthy
-neurodivergent children or children with disabilities
-families who have relatives in different countries
-families where working adult has fixed rota
It is felt that current law is more orientated to be new tax. We do undrestand education is important but so is family time.
