Jason Clare (Blaxland, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Education) Share this | Hansard source

His name was Jason. What a good kid. He wasn't talking, wasn't making eye contact and wasn't playing with other kids. Guess what? Now, he's in a childcare centre in Broadmeadows, and he's doing it all. He's talking, he's pointing, and he's socialising with other kids. That is the power of early education. That is life-changing stuff. That little boy is there because of a decision that we made here—because we changed the law, because we created the three-day guarantee. That means that Marina is guaranteed access to three days a week of subsidised child care, and that little boy Jason and every kid in this country has the chance and the opportunity that they deserve. Guess what? The Liberal Party want to get rid of all of that as well. (Time expired)
