I was not involved with the select committee that looked at this and this is my first opportunity to take a call on the bill. However, as someone, along with other members in the House, who has a background in education, I certainly value and understand—albeit my background is in secondary education, I none the less understand the hard work that those in our early childhood sector do up and down the country in our communities. This bill is actually about supporting them. This bill is actually about supporting those hard-working teachers in early childhood education who deserve to have the support of people in this particular House.
