QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WALSH (Victoria—Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth) (15:00): Wage justice for early educators matters. We are locking in the pay rise for workers. We are limiting fee growth for families, and we are strengthening safety requirements too.

Next week the Senate faces a clear choice: back fair pay for educators, back stability for services, back quality and safety for children, or put all that progress at risk. Our position is clear: early educators do skilled, important work. They deserve certainty, they deserve respect and they deserve to be valued by this parliament.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Grogan, second supplementary?
