00:00This is an exciting announcement for us because at the election campaign we

00:12promised to double the number of public preschools in New South Wales and I'm

00:17pleased to announce we're well on the way to achieving that goal. With the

00:21beginning of construction for 20 new public preschools including right here

00:25at Bommardary we are making sure that there's options particularly in

00:30regional communities for access to good quality early childhood education for

00:36families. This is the crucial part of equity and fairness for families in

00:41regional communities. It's incredibly important in lifting female

00:45participation because we know where there are early childhood education

00:50deserts there's less opportunities for boat clients to bear the workforce. When

00:56you live in one of the most expensive housing markets in the world that is

00:59absolutely crucial and hugely necessary and this 770 million dollar public

01:06preschool program is going to make a major difference in the communities

01:10where this program is being run out and I'm pleased to announce that

01:14uh I think 10 of the new public preschools will be in the Illawarra

01:18Shoalhaven area and crucially 49 of the 100

01:24new public preschools will be in regional communities.
