Sounds super dodgy! Even leaving aside the actual specifics of the childcare centre (which sounds really sad for local families!) I hate these kind of power moves with a total lack of oversight! If government is going to make decisions like this they need to at least show their work and stand by it, and allow people to discuss, debate, understand. Hope you can get some traction.

Exactly! Like if this is the right decision say it with your whole chest and show us how and why the decision was made. Redacted assessment criteria looks pretty suss.

Signed! These kinds of decisions infuriate me. At a time when strong communities and childcare are vital for healthy societies, this is just another example of men making decisions to help their friends, no doubt. I hope you get some answers, an apology and your lovely care centre reinstated x

Thank you that’s so lovely of you and I think that’s really the most disappointing thing. We have the thing everyone wants - a community run, family run, NFP centre with a wildly low staff turnover. Like what are they doing?

Done. If you haven’t already, you should write to your local state member and also the minister in charge of local government to raise it to their attention and ask them to look into it.

Done....I've followed your story and it's very sad when a council will obviously put profit before the welfare of children within the community. I hope you get the answers you deserve. Continue to fight. 💪💪

Signed! Solid, reliable and safe child care centres are so important right now. Council’s decision is ludicrous (and a little sus?). Good luck with the fight 💕
