How would it do that?The basis behind it is to support mothers to re-enter the workforce as I understand it.
Aged care workers are poorly paid I agree but that doesn't seem to be the primary basis of the policy.

The policy appears to be a two pronged approach. An overall rundown here (with criticisms):How would it do that?
So you favour inheritance taxes?
That's part of the Lib scare campaign (and a total lie by the way).
Why the hell do childcare workers deserve a pay rise and not say the very poorly paid aged care care workers?
Is it ever not going to have a high attrition rate? Cleaning shitty nappies of other people’s children is not a career most people aspire to.The policy appears to be a two pronged approach. An overall rundown here (with criticisms):

The major issues with childcare sector is the attrition rate (35-40% within 3 years, primarily due to pay) which makes it a classis 'at risk' industry for market failure.

Reports indicate pay is the number one reason people leave the industry.Is it ever not going to have a high attrition rate? Cleaning shitty nappies of other people’s children is not a career most people aspire to.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a childcare, but for what they do they are not underpaid. It’s a pretty basic job. Read them stories, feed them, change nappies, put them down for naps. Put on a Wiggles playlist. Anyone can do it.Reports indicate pay is the number one reason people leave the industry.

Because it’s a shitty job, literally. A quarter of the kids spend the morning screaming and crying because they don’t want to be left there by their parents. You have to listen to inane kids music on repeat. For the first two-three years you’re teaching them stuff that isn’t very intellectually stimulating.I pick my daughter up every Friday.
You clearly disagree with the reports, so why do you think it has such a high turnover? Nappies?
Quite a few carers at my kids’ childcare left because they got pregnant. Imo the kind of people predisposed to this kind of work are young women who love children, and once they have children of their own have little interest in returning.The national average for time spent in a job is three years and four months.
Under 25s is one year and eight months
25-35 is two years and eight months
35-44 is four years
If attrition is a problem, then it's a problem across many industries.

So you agree at least that turnover is a problem in the sector.Because it’s a shitty job, literally. A quarter of the kids spend the morning screaming and crying because they don’t want to be left there by their parents. You have to listen to inane kids music on repeat. For the first two-three years you’re teaching them stuff that isn’t very intellectually stimulating.
I think every parent when they drop their kid off at childcare doesn’t think “I wish I could put him in here more often”, and that imo is the problem with the sector.So you agree at least that turnover is a problem in the sector.
I think the policy isn't perfect (as per an article I posted earlier today) but at least some pollies are attempting to help.
So what policy response do you think mitigates that?I think every parent when they drop their kid off at childcare doesn’t think “I wish I could put him in here more often”, and that imo is the problem with the sector.
I think a policy that allows parents to spend more time with their kids is better than one that wants them to spend more time at work.So what policy response do you think mitigates that?
Either that or some sort of paid parental leave scheme (ie 12 months off) for both parents up until their child is in preschool.An increase in family payments?
I think childcare should be the option of last resort for those who really want to or need to work. I don’t like its positioning as an educational institution. The best education children get in the early ages is one on one time with their parents.
Your post said "job".
Your figures refer to a change of employer or a change of industry altogether?
If you don't even understand the basic meanings of terms, you can't fake it seeds. Capital as a result of social relations (an exchange value for labour), commodity production, the decoupling of productivity from wages and how this has renewed interest in certain Marxian analysis amongst many orthodox economists, the history of surplus value as a concept and so on. Unlike you, I actually have a background in economics. I know what faculties teach and why. So no amount of puffery will do it in this case.Its incoherent to the uneducated. Unlike other fields where most people listen to the educated, economics is one where people only listen to those who support their uneducated self serving views.
And you support socialism with no capital? Even cavemen had capital. Monkeys as well. Basically you are asking for the death of billions if you want a world without capital and for humans to act like dogs.
And you sit there and wonder why people fear socialism?
