What framework will guide decisions about whether to publish information— for example, why centres aren't being allowed to open a new centre or are having their subsidy blocked, or decisions along that way? Speaking to the concern from parents that this process might not be as transparent as they hoped, will parents be informed when information is withheld and why? In my home state of Victoria, we're having real issues in getting the government to release documentation about breaches that have occurred in centres. So I would like to provide some assurance to parents.
