Bayside early childhood education and care

 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (14:09): Making our kindergartens compliant will cost $65.3 million across Bayside kindergartens. So far, state Labor has contributed $700,000 in my community and promised another $850,000 that has not even been paid. The gap is a chasm of tens of millions of dollars. Recently Bayside council was forced to consider centralising community kinder with the closure of current centres in Hampton because of Labor’s funding shortfall.
