Because these small businesses rely on private fees rather than public support, “across the country, child-care providers are going under.” So why Australia? Because it’s emerging as the great counterintuitive counterexample of this pandemic. Among the many bold, unifying steps taken by the conservative — even Trumpian — government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been to make child care free for three months. The government was fearful of precisely what appears to be happening in the United States: That as parents — anxious about safety or their finances — pulled kids out of day care, the entire system would collapse. Calling day care vital to Australia, Morrison [said](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgp56kP4QmAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZWd1YXJkaWFuLmNvbS9hdXN0cmFsaWEtbmV3cy8yMDIwL21heS8xMS9mcmVlLWNoaWxkY2FyZS1oYXMtYmVlbi1hbWF6aW5nLWF1c3RyYWxpYW4tcGFyZW50cy1ob3BlLXBhbmRlbWljLW1heS1wYXZlLXdheS1mb3ItcmVmb3JtP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjAwNTIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NjMyJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI4NTQwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAIqQZxV5oFu4VUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) he wanted to build “a bridge for these valuable services to the other side of this virus” so that “Australia can bounce back strongly.” Providers who receive the government subsidy [are supposed to give priority](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgp56kP4QnAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFwaC5nb3YuYXUvQWJvdXRfUGFybGlhbWVudC9QYXJsaWFtZW50YXJ5X0RlcGFydG1lbnRzL1BhcmxpYW1lbnRhcnlfTGlicmFyeS9GbGFnUG9zdC8yMDIwL0FwcmlsL0Nvcm9uYXZpcnVzX3Jlc3BvbnNlLUZyZWVfY2hpbGRfY2FyZT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIwMDUyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODYzMiZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yODU0MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACKkGcVeaBbuFVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) to the children of essential workers, to vulnerable and disadvantaged children and to children who were already enrolled.
