"There's a model, a template which we will only use in childcare," Mr Shorten said.The comments came one day after Mr Shorten appeared to leave the door open to extending the childcare pay scheme to other industries, when he said on Monday: "We have picked childcare workers to go first."
Mr Shorten's remarks answer a challenge from Education Minister Dan Tehan on Tuesday morning to explain whether other sectors would get the same wage supplement."What other sectors are they going to use taxpayers' money to pay for wage increases? This is, this is extraordinary, and it is just purely and utterly a bribe to the unions.
Leading Age Services Australia, which represents aged-care providers, has launched an "I care for aged care" campaign and said on Monday that its sector needed more support. Bill Shorten has promised a 20 per cent pay rise for childcare workers, who are"underpaid" and"highly trained"."The solution we've looked at for early childhood educators is a recognition that nothing else has worked. They are underpaid, they are highly trained and it's long overdue that we do the right thing."
