From my family to yours, wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter.

Good Friday Mass at Our Lady of Lebanon in Harris Park. Ended the day in Granville at the St Raymond Charities of Hadchit.

From today, we’ve introduced mandatory safety training for early education and care workers. It might be the most important thing we do here. The workers in our childcare centres are the best asset we’ve got to keep our kids safe. It’s all about giving them the tools they need to spot someone hiding in clear sight and to have the skills to take action.

Last year we passed new laws to cut funding from childcare centres that aren’t up to scratch. For 30 services the deadline is now here. 19 are now meeting standards. 1 has closed and 1 is yet to be assessed. 9 of them will now have to show cause why we shouldn’t take next steps to suspend or cancel their funding. The threat of cutting funding has forced centres to act. This isn’t an idle threat. There is nothing more important than keeping our kids safe.

The Australian Tertiary Education Commission has now passed the Parliament. It’s about making sure students get the skills they need for their future and Australia’s future. It’s about building a better and fairer education system. Media Release: ATEC passes Parliament: https://lnkd.in/g4r8fV6p

The Australian Tertiary Education Commission has just passed the Parliament. It will help us build the type of education system Australia will need in the future, one where more jobs require more skills.
