Today I gave a Notice of Motion in the Parliament of New South Wales aboutthe Government's refusal to adequately support isolated and remote families who are educating early learners.

I am concerned that in our current drought families in remote areas are being deserted by the Government.

This is the text of the Motion:



NOTICE OF MOTION

Ms Harrison says



Mister SPEAKER:

I give notice that on the next sitting day I will move that this House:


Notes that last month I met with Ms Claire Butler, President of the Isolated Childrens Parents Association and a delegation from the Association;


Notes that the already challenging task for parents of educating their children in remote locations has been made harder because of the pressures of the current drought;


Notes that the Associations requests for additional support for travel subsidies and computers to assist parents to educate their pre-school aged children in remote locations has been denied by the Berejiklian Government;


And calls upon the Government to stop deserting these isolated families and give them the modest support that they need.
