On Saturday night, as the Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Learning and as the representative for our Leader Jodi McKay, I celebrated with the nominees and award winners at the Australian Childcare Alliance Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards for New South Wales at an awards night in Sydney. I have already postedwhat I said, and you can read it here.
