Donāt dismiss free Childcare because it might create more demand. Fill the new demand and create more jobs for women as educators and early childhood teachers simultaneously.
Free Childcare is the infrastructure project we actually need. thenewdaily.com.au/finance/fā¦

Dear @DanielAndrewsMP. You intend to spend $3 million taxpayer šµ for a retired judge to look into the hotel quarantine errors. Instead I do it for free now. Untrained security guards bad idea. Apology accepted. Enquiry finished. Use the 3 million for public schools maybe? š

Instead of the $270b military spend, we could:
āgive free uni and TAFE to all who wanted it
āoffer every parent free childcare
ābring dental into Medicare (six times over)
ābuild the 500,000 public homes needed to end homelessness (twenty times over)
What would you rather?

How did we do this? Focused support and laser prioritisation.

This is just straight racism. Imagine leaving a baby with two drunk men, after thereād been reports of quarreling, and refusing the motherās desperate pleas to bring her baby with her. Imagine what kind of twisted mindset you would need to make that decision.
ā A resident at a unit complex where an Aboriginal baby girl died on Sunday says he heard the child's mother asking police not to separate them when she was arrestedā arrested over reports of āquarrellingā too. Devastating. abc.net.au/news/2020-06-13/kā¦
