Wage Justice for Early Childhood Education and Care Workers (Special Account) (Extending Support and Strengthening Safety) Bill 2026

Senator O'SULLIVAN (Western Australia—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (18:52): I've asked this question several times now. I'm not getting the answer in terms of the number of educators that are employees within these sectors. Maybe you don't have that answer; that might be the case.

But, if the government doesn't know how many educators are employees and how many are contractors, on what basis did you assess the number of educators who would benefit from this expansion?
