 Katherine COPSEY (Southern Metropolitan) (12:58): (1948) My question is to the Minister for Children. The parents, children and educators of the Windsor Community Children’s Centre are looking down the barrel of closure by 31 December this year despite a significant community campaign to support their centre. Closure of the centre will add considerably to the already high unmet demand for kindergarten places in Prahran and Windsor. The centre’s board of directors issued a statement last week saying that closure would be:

… a failure of the stewardship expected of governments to ensure stable, high-quality early childhood education and care for our community.

Minister, what is the state Labor government doing to save the Windsor Community Children’s Centre?
