'We need it here,' elder says after Peguis First Nation trust built daycare in Winnipeg suburb
A daycare owned by an organization created to benefit Peguis First Nation promises dozens of new daycare spots for families when it opens its doors – but not for the First Nation in Manitoba's Interlake region, which is in dire need of child care.

Adam Bandt:

“I congratulate the prime minister on his campaign and the strong position that they have got in government at the moment but what it means is that, with the Greens in sole balance of power in the #Senate at the moment, the government can’t blame other individual senators for not being able to get things through.

The only barrier to getting #dental into #Medicare now and passing it through the parliament is #labor.

The only obstacle to making #childcare #free is Labor.

The only obstacle to stopping new #coal and #gas #mines from being opened is Labor. We stand ready in the Senate to make this the most progressive parliament that Australia has seen.”

#TheGreens agenda #auspol #ausvotes

Make #housing #affordable for #renters, first home buyers and stressed mortgage holders.

#Dental and #mental #health into #Medicare for everyone.

Real action on the #climatecrisis, with no more coal and gas.

Bring down the cost of living and make #supermarket #pricegouging illegal.

End #nativeforest #logging and protect our #environment.

Make #TAFE and #university #free, and wipe all #studentdebt.

Introduce 50-cent #publictransport fares nationwide.

Provide free #publicschools and #childcare

Deliver truth, #treaty, and justice for #FirstNations people.

Make big corporations and fossil fuel giants pay their fair share.

Australia's profit-driven childcare is costing little people big time, experts warn
By Conor Duffy

Britain's nursery problem: Parents still face 'childcare deserts'.

Nursery places can difficult to find, particularly in certain areas - so why have successive governments not yet found a solution?

Shhh! Don' tell anybody, but we are in the process of a ground-up redesign of our website to make our film-based learning resources easier for everyone to find.

In the meantime, we're aware that it can be hard to find things on our site. We'd love to help you find what you need.

Take a look around our library yourself. If you'd like help finding anything by film length, student age, subject, theme, activity, or anything else, drop us a note on Mastodon or through the contact section of our site, and we'll do our best to find you the very thing.

Also, if you're using resources as a grandparent, parent or babysitter, or otherwise outside a formal learning environment, we'd love to hear what you're using and how it works for you. Drop us a note here in the Fediverse or contact us through our site. /5
