I will end with another quote from a submission, which describes the plight of most early childhood centre owners: "On the surface, it sounds good. The general public and our teaching staff think it is a great idea, and a done deal; however, when I do the numbers, it is hugely disappointing because the funding increase is nowhere near enough to support the steps. As a director, I cannot jeopardise the viability of the company by knowingly doing something that makes it unprofitable. I don't want to go bankrupt. In its current format, it is not workable, but neither is the current situation of inequity."
