To the honourable the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives assembled in parliament:

The petition of certain electors for the Division of Leichhardt draws to the attention of the house the proposed funding changes to the child care industry.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to retain the current provisions that apply to the child care industry with regard to funding and draw the attention of the house to previous policy statements made by the Liberal and National Parties during the March election campaign of 1996, which indicated support financially to the industry to continue to meet the needs of the community. Your petitioners therefore ask the House not to pass legislation that will in any way risk the loss of existing quality, affordable child care.
