Yes, but means-test it so we don't subsidize wealthy families.

This aligns with Labor's current policy implementation, which uses a sliding-scale subsidy based on household income to ensure those who need it most receive the highest support.

Agree

Yes

Labor has moved toward a 'universal' goal and has commissioned studies into a 90% subsidy for all, but hasn't fully committed to a completely free system for every family regardless of income.

No, it unfairly discriminates against parents who raise their own children.
