    It’s about time we ended ‘for profit’ childcare. It’s obvious to everyone that it’s nothing but a fucking rort.

    The Western Bulldogs have bribed/lobbied the local council to scrap the requirement that they must have a not-for-profit childcare centre.

    This move will allow the Western Bulldogs to steal money from Australians via increased fees and the kickback they receive from a future for-profit provider.

      I’d like to know how they believe a for profit company could end up reducing costs. By definition their goal is to make profit. Where do they think the profit comes from?

    Easy solution, should make everyone happy:

    We know the current price of child care at the current rate. We can extrapolate that out for the next 50 years and beyond.

    If the price goes above that at time in the next 50-100 years, Western Bulldogs will pay the difference on behalf of parent.

    WB is sure it’ll lower fees, so its 0 risk to them right?
