Why aren't parents "out there" supporting childcare staff and their push to be paid properly and to be treated like professionals? That's the questions posed by Susie O'Brien in a column in today's Herald-Sun.
Susie O'Brien says childcare workers low wages are a national disgrace.
But if parents aren't taking an interest in childcare quality, we will never get it.
Governments give people only what they demand, and sadly we aren't demanding good childcare, we are just demanding cheap childcare.
So standards come a sad second to price, and our kids pay for it.
