About this episode
Education Minister Jason Clare has admitted that it's taken "too long" to standardise Working with Children Checks across Australia, with the topic on the agenda at the meeting of attorneys-general next week.
It comes after a Melbourne childcare worker was charged with over 70 offences — but while the Albanese Government has been "saying all the right things", is more action needed at a national level?
And Australia's first truth telling inquiry handed down its final report on Tuesday, the culmination of four long years of work. But are governments signalling a willingness to engage?
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Anna Henderson, SBS World News Chief Political Correspondent on The Party Room.
