Labor promises $4b for free childcare
Labor leader Bill Shorten will promise free or almost free childcare for low- income families at a rally for the party faithful in Melbourne.
Mr Shorten will make the $4 billion election pledge on Sunday alongside deputy party leader Tanya Plibersek.
Most families earning up to $69,000 will get free childcare under a Labor government, saving up to $2100 per child every year.
