Following through on an election promise, the government has tasked the competition watchdog, the ACCC, to look into the spiralling cost of childcare.
Allow me to amend that headline to reflect reality... The Albanese government is resisting calls to fast-track its childcare relief in the wake of a trillion-dollar debt inherited from the coalition government. You're welcome.
Labour and AlboMP can't fast track anything, they will need to hold a summit talk fest first and spend millions on talk!!
Or ‘Albanese broke an election promise and has shown he’s a liar’

Long overdue. From the APS employee perspective. Rorting was rife by the private sector and every increase of child care payments was met with OTT increase in fees.
