Quotes attributable to Greens early childhood education spokesperson, Senator Steph Hodgins-May: “Today the Greens secured a major win for families and children across the country. “In a sign that Greens pressure works, Labor has been forced to back its own bill to remove the childcare subsidy activity test for three days per week. “This reform is thanks to Greens, early childhood education advocates and families saying we need to get rid of the activity test and pushing Labor to act.
“This bill is just a first step in fixing our broken childcare system, which is too important to leave to a potential Coalition government. “The Greens will continue to fight for universal, free early childhood education and care. With the Greens in the balance of power, we’ll fight to keep Dutton out of government and push Labor to get it done.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
