AU Federal Petition to grant additional Paid Parental Leave to parents of premature babies

Hi Reddit,

Hopefully this is okay to post - mods please let me know if I've misinterpreted the rules!

I launched a federal petition to ask the government to grant additional leave to parents with premature babies, and I thought I would share it here. I myself am the parent to an ex 28+5 weeker who is already back at work when bub is only 4 months corrected, and while I'm lucky enough to have family that can take care of my baby to keep her out of daycare too soon, not everyone has that option, and I think the system needs to do more to protect these particularly vulnerable families.

If you could sign and share it around yourselves (AU residents only I believe) it would be appreciated!
