About this episode
State and Federal Governments are facing a "reckoning", after a childcare worker was charged with over 70 offences — and now another man has also been charged with serious offences.
The Education Minister Jason Clare is pushing for the power to cut funding to childcare centres failing to meet safety standards, but is this enough? And does the Albanese Government have an important leadership role here?
And Foreign Minister Penny Wong has held "positive" bilateral talks with her US counterpart Marco Rubio — but it doesn't look like a tariff deal is any closer.
Patricia Karvelas and Brett Worthington break it all down on Politics Now.
