In the ‘70s, bread cost just 24 cents. Now? $4.50. But in rural and remote Queensland—and in many First Nations communities—it’s even worse. On Palm Island, a loaf can cost $10. Things cost more, yet the Federal Government is still funding local councils like it’s the '70s.

A postcode shouldn’t decide who gets childcare. Rural, regional, and remote councils are stepping up where no one else will—but they can’t do it alone. It’s time for secure funding. Every family deserves access to childcare, no matter where they live. 📰
