My eldest daughter snapped my official "Back to Work for 2024" snap which after more than six months off felt like a moment. Sooo happy (if a little rusty 🫠🙃) to be back. I am incredibly grateful for @Jess_Rudd & the team for ensuring @the_parenthood soared in my absence.

NB. An important fact check. Families on incomes up to $530k *already* have access to subsidised care. Changing the activity test will overwhelmingly benefit children from families on the other end of the income spectrum. #ozearlyed #thrivebyfive

A childcare lender asks for a universal wage increase administered through the tax system with absolutely no trade off on system reform or parent fees, in the same breath as claiming the taxpayer can’t afford a universal fixed fee model? 👀👀👀 theaustralian.com.au/busines…
