The second issue that has been raised by services who will be affected by this bill is why so quick? Why so rushed? The discussion about pay parity has been ongoing for a number of years. The Minister has had multiple opportunities to engage with the sector on it, and yet this bill was introduced under urgency. It was rushed through. Only 14 days were given for submissions and only two days for oral hearings, two days of which were days when, actually, early childhood service owners and teachers across the country were operating those services and so found it pretty difficult to come and have their say, and were left feeling that actually the Minister of Education didn't want them to know about this bill, didn't want them to examine it, and didn't want them to raise their concerns.
