Analysis by the Australian National University (ANU) suggests that families on higher incomes will benefit the most from the child-care policies of both Labor and the Coalition.
The analysts shows that the wealthiest 20% of households will save an average of $2,547 a year under Labor’s policy. In contrast, the Coalition’s child-care policy will result in annual savings of just $506 for these households.
However, the poorest households would save $454 a year under Labor and $96 under the Coalition.
