Childcare Crisis: Politicians Drop Balls, Urge Action Fast
In a stunning display of political finesse, Shadow Education Minister Jonno Duniam confessed that governments across the spectrum have "dropped the ball" on childcare safety reforms for years. Claiming his own party failed "at the time," Duniam now calls for quick action, proclaiming he'd be "absolutely stunned" if the combined power of eight states, territories, and the Commonwealth can't fix this "in the next few weeks." In short, if it takes longer, somebodyâs really good at dropping this particular ball.
