Thank you, Madam Chair.
There has been a lot of talk from your government about the delivery of a national child care system, but in all of the talk, all of the speeches and throne speeches and so on, a lot of the numbers fall short of what's actually necessary.
The key stakeholders within child care have asked for an immediate $2.5 billion, which actually your government agreed to do in a unanimous consent motion in the House, but it has failed to do so yet.
They are also asking for $10 billion over the next five years. They have also requested a piece of legislation to put forward a universal child care act.
We also heard in testimony on Tuesday from witnesses that this will only continue to create a piecemeal approach in terms of child care.
Will we be able to see that full funding in the upcoming budget?
