Teaching and Education Legislation Amendment (Employment) Bill 2017

I want our teachers and support staff to know that they are valued and supported by the Government and NSW Labor. We appreciate the difference they make to the lives of young people every day. Therefore, I agree with increasing the limitation of temporary contracts from one year to three years,but the Minister must ensure that this bill will not be used as a mechanism to reduce filling positions on a permanent basis when a permanent position is available.
