Labor's backflip on early years

It has taken 10 years for Labor to agree to a policy similar to Premier Jeremy Rockliff's from a decade ago.

But the Opposition leader has forgotten important details in his newfound support for the policy: including the key question of how much is it going to cost?

Tasmanians will rightly be asking how the Opposition Leader can launch a policy with no costing and no detail.

While Mr Willie blocked similar reforms by Premier Rockliff, it is great to see him finally adopting Liberal policy.

While Labor has spent a decade fighting reforms, our Liberal Government has expanded early learning, boosted the workforce, delivered six new Child and Family Learning Centres, and invested in more childcare facilities.

Given Labor's backflip, our Government is happy to reconsider the policy after it is properly costed and most importantly we see the evidence that this will deliver better outcomes for our youngest learners.
