This election eve Mother’s Day we need universal early childhood education & care + generous paid parental leave. See my op ed on how 21 years of talk and $$ has not delivered for parents who need more equal sharing of family care and paid work. Prof Rae Cooper @sammostyn #womenvote

Australia has more than half a million job-ready women. We must invest in affordable early education and care, improved paid parental leave and higher wages in care sectors to unlock women's participation. @sammostyn @EconomistAnge The Sydney Morning Herald Rachel Clun smh.com.au/politics/feder…
