Deadbeat sperm donors cost $1.7 billion

"Child support is to get a shake-up in the New Year after revelations eligible parents owe more than $1.7 billion in payments..."

Oh- wait, $1.2b was the result of late payment penalties and interest.

So its 'only' $500 million.

Or, put another way, as of October 32% (64,824) of liable parents weren't making their child-support payments in full or on time.

Hell, if they won't pay- sentence them to a vasectomy!
