He told Sky News that ‘the last time Labor tipped billions into the childcare sector, it saw fees skyrocket’ because ‘the companies simply took the money, pocketed it, and families were no better off'.
Mr Birmingham also defended his party’s preference deal with Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, saying ‘Australia has a compulsory preferential voting system and if you’re not voting Liberal or National, there’s not a lot to choose from’. He says ‘we’re obviously not going to give preferences to the racist policies of Fraser Anning, or to One Nation, not the irrational economics of the Greens, and certainly not to Bill Shorten who has $378 billion of higher taxes’.

Only because he didn't think of it first, so automatically a dumb policy.
Notice PeterDutton_MP is quiet on this one... Ask him if he likes this policy.. bet he is rubbing his had with glee
Birmingham did you get a day pass from the puppet master?

IPA Research Fellow Gideon Rozner pointed out that excessive regulation of the childcare sector – driven largely by unions like United Voice – had driven up costs with little gain in quality. Institute of Public Affairs
Not absolutely convinced of this from Bill but at least he is trying to pay child care workers a fair income! By opening new affordable childcare places it also enables and encourages ppl to go back in2 the workforce! What is the Libs answer to childcare workers leaving industry
Instead if just trying to rubbish Labor’s plan DO YOU have a better plan Mr Birmingham. Families are struggling with child care costs, they need help not just negative spin. What are YOU going to do to help families?
Labor solar subsidies sent power prices to the highest in the world in SA. But let’s try the same thing somewhere else hey! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
