Advisory group proposes axing pay parity for early childhood teachers

yeah nah, pay parity for ECE was the only thing keeping some decent teachers in the centres. take that away and watch the good ones walk. classic government short-sighted bullshit.

Sky Murphy2026-07-03T04:07:07.000Z

facts. they'll just go to Australia. can't blame em.

My daughter's a kindergarten teacher. She works way harder than I do and gets paid peanuts. This is a joke.

Hana Stewart2026-07-03T04:28:07.000Z

yeah, article clearly says 'qualified'. try again.

Pay parity? What about primary teachers? ECE is glorified babysitting. Send your kid to a proper school if you want education.

Sky Murphy2026-07-03T04:56:07.000Z

I studied ECE for two years and now I'm reconsidering. If they axe pay parity, why bother? The workload is insane for what they pay.

Of course they propose this while the minister's mates run private centres. Ffs, who's on this advisory group? Property developers?

Sage Lawson2026-07-03T06:15:07.000Z

same, i've got a mate who's leaving for Melbourne in August cos of this crap.

Sage Lawson2026-07-03T05:40:07.000Z

honestly, my mum was an ECE teacher for 30 years. she loved it but could never afford a house. this is just disrespectful.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-03T06:16:07.000Z

lol cope, it's just a proposal. don't get your knickers in a twist.

Grace Patel2026-07-03T06:02:07.000Z

Oh cool, so we just accept that early childhood educators don't matter now? Sick of this government's priorities.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T06:09:07.000Z

idk man, maybe if they got paid more we wouldn't have a shortage. but nah, let's just cut more and act surprised when centres close.

River Cole2026-07-03T06:43:07.000Z

lol 'balance budgets' while they give tax cuts to landlords. pull the other one.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T06:46:07.000Z

get stuffed. our kids deserve qualified educators not some budget cut.

Jamie Fox2026-07-03T06:21:07.000Z

Actually, pay parity was never sustainable. It was a nice idea but now we need to balance budgets. Sucks but it's reality.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-03T06:27:07.000Z

Wait, are people actually defending paying unqualified staff the same as qualified? That's the real issue here.
