My question is to the Minister for Early Childhood Education. Out-of-school-hours care services at small rural schools across my electorate face imminent closure after sustainability funding was cut. If these services close, parents won't be able to work in a cost-of-living crisis. It is clear there is not enough money in the Community Child Care Fund. Will the minister stand by while vital childcare services close due to a lack of government funding?
