TONI SEVERIN (ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise on behalf of the ACT Party to oppose the Holidays (Parent-Teacher Interview Leave) Amendment Bill. Good lawmaking requires the member responsible for this bill to properly define the problem that they are trying to solve. This bill does not solve a problem that I have been made aware of by many parents that I have spoken to who work varying hours; some work multiple jobs. All that they have told me is that their employer or school have worked with them to make sure that they can make their child's parent-teacher interview.
