Early childhood education and care
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:16): Under Labor, Victoria’s childcare system is in crisis. Despite clear evidence of a broken system, for three years the Allan Labor government has refused to act. Instead of working constructively with the Liberals and Nationals to prioritise children’s safety, the Allan Labor government last sitting week voted down reforms to fix the broken childcare system. Our plan, Safe from the Start, sets out six urgent reforms to protect children and rebuild trust in the system. Children’s safety should be the number one priority and focus. We will not wait for another review or another tragedy.
