To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:
The petition of the certain residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that:
1. In the 1996/97 Budget the Coalition Government cut $150 million from the Children's Services Program.
2. These cuts included the abolition of operational subsidies for community-based long day care centres, restrictions on the numbers of hours for which Child Care Assistance is payable and the means testing of Child Care Cash Rebate.
3. All Child Care Centres across Australia are faced with increasing fees to keep centres open, forcing parents to pay more for child care.
4. The program will not be sustainable for families or providers if any further cuts are made.
Your petitioners request that the House:
1. Exert pressure on Members of the Coalition to reverse any budget decisions which will result in further reducing the Federal Government's role in funding and protecting Australia's quality child care system.
2. Ensure that all families continue to have access to affordable, quality and accessible child care.
3. As a minimum maintain the Children's Services Program at $1 billion.
