SUBJECTS: Labor’s policy to extend preschool access to 3 year olds.
TOM CONNELL: For more on this, joining me from Melbourne is the Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education, Amanda Rishworth. Amanda, thanks very much for your time for today. Can I start just by asking kids, for people out there, some with kids, some without, a 3 year old, why they need these 15 hours of education? Why that is important?

SHORTEN & RISHWORTH - MEDIA RELEASE - MORRISON’S KINDERGARTEN CUTS TO LEAVE 347,000 CHILDREN WORSE OFF - WEDNESDAY, 3 OCTOBER 2018
347,000 Australian children are facing a $440 million cut to preschool funding as a result of Scott Morrison’s cuts to preschool, with the program only funded for one more school year.
Unless this cut is reversed, every child now under the age of two will miss out on preschool funding in the year before school. This would be a disaster for Australian children and for our economy.
