Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Education and Training) (14:31): As I said at the outset, and I again reiterate, the government is not proposing to force any childcare provider to shift to short-session billing. The government is making sure the arrangements we have in place provide the flexibility for providers to do so if they so wish. I am very happy to say that no child will be pushed out in those circumstances because no provider, I imagine, would change if it were going to push a child out. Senator Dastyari, you can be absolutely confident that under our reforms parents who need childcare support and early-learning support to be able to access their work obligations will get greater support. Those families that rely on child care most to juggle work and family obligations get greater support. Childcare providers will ensure that they have the flexibility to tailor their business models to support those families as well as early-learning outcomes across the sector. Senator Dastyari: These words are going to come back and haunt you! Senator BIRMINGHAM: Senator Dastyari, they will not, because I am quite confident in the model and that your questions are completely misplaced— Time expired)
