I’m so proud of the fiercely protective Greens women speaking out:

“Families have been harmed because this Labor government sits on their hands.” @anasinagraybarberio.org.au 🌺

Childcare-aged children are among the most vulnerable members of our community, and the most deserving of our care.

Thank you so much @abigailboydmlc.bsky.social for your incredible work in NSW to hold this sector and its regulators to account.

I could barely watch this Four Corners episode in one sitting, I can only imagine the cost of looking deeply at these horrific abuses for months on end. Group hug.

Thank you @stephhodgins-may.bsky.social for speaking out:

"419 childcare centres in Aust are owned by foreign for-profit providers. You wouldn’t let foreign equity firms run primary schools. Families have lost confidence in the childcare system, tinkering around the edges won’t bring trust back."

"For Profit providers are overrepresented in child abuse and neglect statistics in early child care, and that's certainly the case when it comes to child sex abuse."

So we have choices to make.

Privatisation for profit - or protect the most precious and vulnerable little members of our community?

How blessed we are to have walked beside them for a while. 👣

Special mention to the dads who instilled a love of the outdoors. Double special mention if you passed it on intergenerationally.

And a big shout out to all the kids of dads who’ve gone on around the bend on a new grand adventure ahead of us.

Nailed it 😥

It’s a genocide and a war crime and Netanyahu should be held accountable.

The same applies to all people, including Netanyahu’s genocidal war cabinet.

For-profit models have failed every care sector - from childcare to aged care. Why do we allow this model to keep harming the most vulnerable people in our society? People we love?

Childcare should be brought under the education system like schooling and made free, accessible and above all: safe.
