    I got the boys down in time to watch today’s Four Corners on the childcare sector. I’m so happy my girlfriend found a job at a council run facility and that my boys are at a centre that seems well run

      I did’t watch the show, but have noticed in recent years many large very expensive looking new child care centres popping up all over the place. There must be plenty of money to be made if so many multi-million dollar facilities are profitable. I don’t live in a growth suburb with young families. I can think of at least 5 new mega places within a few km of my house. I know the workers get paid abysmally, so who’s getting the cash?

      It’s an industry that seems to attract corruption and abusers.

      It was like that over 38 years ago when miss seagoon went to childcare when i was going to uni. The woman running it was putting in fake subsidy claims and pocketing the money.

      It’s the government subsidies, subsidies attract corruption.
