Over the past few weeks I have continued to visit many occasional child-care providers affected by the Baillieu government's axing of funding for the Take a Break occasional child-care program.

The Watsonia Occasional Child Care Centre in my electorate was advised by the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) on 21 July 2011 that it had lost its indemnity insurance as of 30 June.

We believe it is necessary to regulate these types of child beauty pageants.
