The teachers' expectations have been massively raised—"We're getting pay parity."—and yet a minuscule amount of money has been put forward to actually fund it. So where does that extra bit get made up? Well, I'll go into that later. So many questions were poised at this conference that the Minister was not able to answer about this bill. The early childhood centres were saying to him, "What happens when our staff go? Even if we can't afford it but we manage to make things work in the first year, what happens in the second year when all of our staff on all the different levels go up? What happens then? What if we are massively out of pocket? Will you commit to paying?" The Minister was very clever with his words and talked about the bottom rate, but he never talked about all of the other people on the higher levels of that scale.
