 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (14:05): (2488) My question is for the Minister for Children, and it concerns the very exciting news that around 70,000 free kinder spaces have been taken up in the south-east of Melbourne alone. So I ask on behalf of my constituents, tens of thousands of whom have benefited from these policies already, what difference this makes for working families in the south-east, and what consequences would there be if a Liberal–One Nation coalition were to cut free kinder services?
