PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to speak in opposition of this Education and Training (Grants—Budget Measures) Amendment Bill. This amendment concerns the funding of our early childhood services, and as my colleague has said, this bill is very typical of what this Government likes to do plenty of, and that is gaining tighter control. Even though these early childhood services are privately owned or community-run playgroups, the Minister wants more control.
