Importing child care not the answer
This subject was also canvassed on the Wendy Harmer web site “TheHoopla” (http://thehoopla.com.au/5-hour-child-care-really/). The discussion was provoked by a submission to the Productivity Commission inquiry in to child care. The consensus view was that this was a really dumb idea and that a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay was what was required. "Importing slave labour is not the answer" said panellist Joe Hildebrand.
