Minister, it is concerning that this information is not being made public. Can you please explain why this is being hidden, and, if you are going to be providing that information to service providers, when will it be provided? It is deeply concerning. This scheme is just weeks away from starting. You've obviously determined as a government the payment methodology—how the funding will be determined. Childcare centres need to know now. They need to know what is coming in the door. So I would ask you, Minister, to disclose this funding methodology now. This is what every childcare service provider deserves, and no less. And, if you're going to be conveying further information to childcare providers, could you please indicate the date by which that information will be provided?
