Keep the 2 child benefit cap

I want people to be educated about the real, long term costs associated with having children and accept that if they choose to have more than 2 children then they should commit to funding that decision themselves and not expect others to pay for their choice for many years.

I think this is a massive cost for our society and I don't actually want so much of my tax contribution funding families that are growing beyond a size they can afford. I would rather see an increase in policing in our town and critically more prisons being built nationally so that a general respect for the rule of law can be reinstated
