Let's Talk: The Crisis in the Early Childhood Sector

Our popular 'Let's Talk' series is back! Join Abigail Boyd MLC and guests as they discuss the crisis in the early childhood sector

The early childhood education and care sector should be about developing and nurturing young people, helping to socialise and educate them at this developmentally important age. But what should be a sector and profession that puts the rights, dignity and potential of children at its centre has become corrupted by big business and shonky operators growing fat on a steady stream of government subsidies, leading to corners being cut and workers being undervalued – endangering child safety.

Over the last year I’ve been working hard alongside workers, whistleblowers and investigative journalists to expose the terrible issues and dangerous practices lurking below the surface in this increasingly corporatised sector. Join me as we discuss what’s gone wrong, how it got like this, and how we can work to fix it together.

Guest speakers to be announced soon.

This event will be held online via Zoom. For accessibility requests contact [email protected].

PUBLIC ENERGY FOR PUBLIC GOOD - SIGN THE PETITION!

Electricity is an essential service. But Labor and Liberal governments have sold off NSW’s energy assets and infrastructure, leaving us at the mercy of the private sector for our energy needs. The result has been soaring energy bills, with more and more people being forced into energy poverty.

A privatised energy system will never deliver a cheap and clean energy network - It’s time to take the power back.

As we transition to 100% renewable energy, we must learn from the mistakes of privatisation, ensure our energy assets are kept in public hands, and rein in the actions of private operators.

Communities across NSW have for too long been at the mercy of privatised power network operators who continue to put profit above people, acting recklessly and cutting corners without regard for community expectations.

Recent catastrophic power outages in regional NSW have made headlines for just this - in Broken Hill, the state’s only 100% privatised transmission network operator has failed to deliver a safe and secure energy network, leaving communities in the dark because of mismanagement and neglect in the pursuit of profit.

To build our case for bringing electricity back into public ownership, the Greens are calling for a public parliamentary inquiry into all NSW power network operators, their operation and corporate decision-making practices.
