    The childcare system that we need is for the insane cost of living to get cut by 50%, at least, so a family can once again not only survive but actually live (pay rent/mortgage, eat, buy clothes and stuff for kids, own 2 cars, etc) on a single wage so that one parent can stay home with the kids.

    Anything short of that is just going to increase taxes and make it even worse.

    Legacy: “We spent a lot of money and have nothing actionable to show for it other than securing our retirement careers at Deloitte.”

      Don’t forget the $10 billion they handed to the financial sector in the form of a loan for the HAFF joke, and they borrowed at the highest interest point in the last 5 years.

      I’m sure they have cushy jobs waiting for them at whichever bank(s) accepted those loans.

      We have corporate training provided by Deloitte.

      The questions in the quiz feels like they was generated by an LLM.

      You have to either pretend to be a stupid computer to answer the questions or you have to run the workbook though AdobeAI to answer the questions.

      They don’t see this as a problem.

        Who’s “they?”

        If Deloitte, well, they got paid. Doesn’t matter that the product is crap because they got paid to make crap before, got paid to make the crap training, and will get paid to make crap in the future.

        To them, there is no problem. The system works, billables accrued, interns crushed, executives have a new yacht, everything is as it should be.

    About 95% of new operators joining the childcare system each year across Australia are private, suggesting the system would be largely for-profit without reform.
