My question is to the Treasurer. Has the Treasurer read the comments of the Chief Executive Officer of the National Family Day Care Council, who said in today’s Sydney Morning Herald:

“You can have all the theoretical places in the world, but if you can’t find carers then they remain political promises ...

Treasurer, if there is a shortage of qualified carers, how will the places you talked about in your budget address be delivered? Isn’t the Treasurer misleading parents and raising false hopes when the truth is these places will not be delivered, because they cannot be?
