Join Michael Lester from Radio Northern Beaches as he speaks with Professor John Quiggin of Queensland University about the alarming revelations of abuse within the child care system. They discuss how the current market-driven approach—featuring profit-maximizing private operators, high prices, and substantial public subsidies—has contributed to ongoing failures. Prof. Quiggin offers his expert diagnosis and examines whether the proposed 'sweeping reforms' will address the underlying structural issues for good, or if deeper systemic changes are needed to ensure safe, quality care for children in the future.
