My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Early Childhood Education, Senator Watt. We know that quality early childhood education and care can transform a child's life, yet the ACCC has found that, under the former government, early childhood education and care costs went up by twice as much as the OECD average between 2018 and 2022. With cost-of-living pressures front of mind for many Australians, what action is the Albanese government taking to ensure early childhood education and care is more affordable for Australian children and their families now?
