In a speech in NSW Parliament’s upper house yesterday, Ms Munro bluntly stated that regulations on ratios should change to cut costs in the sector.
“There are ways we can make childcare cheaper. We can change the regulations around educators who are childcare providers,” she said.
“We don’t need five or six highly educated people to look after 50 kids. Maybe we need one.”
This is a stark contrast to the current National Quality Framework, which mandates a maximum ratio of one educator for 10 children over three years old.

So depressing to see that libs can come out and say shit like this, and then you go to your local area’s Facebook group and it’s still full of people saying ‘vote Labor out’ because another car got stolen or whatever.
The libs are gonna cut cop funding too.
I’m sure that whatever they plan on doing will have the opposite effect on crime, but it’s effective to campaign on it, look at Queensland.
Labor should probably have an answer for this instead of just ignoring the perception people have.
