200 daycare centres shut down

[Black Orchid]

Almost 200 day care centres have been shut down in NSW alone as police investigate links to Islamic State, motorcycle gangs and large-scale fraud.

Suburbs in south-west Sydney were home to the worst-offenders, with four suburbs in the region claiming 114 of the 188 private facilities that were closed.

Police shut down 49 facilities in the Canterbury-Bankstown region, another 25 in Liverpool, 23 in Fairfield and 17 in Auburn.

In one case, the director of the supposed day care was intercepted at Sydney airport, believed to be on his way to fight alongside Islamic State.

Hussain Dandachi, 28, was arrested in relation to a police investigation into a $27 million fraud syndicate and the funnelling of funds into Islamic State.

He pleaded guilty to supplying fake invoices worth more than $100,000 for children who were not in his care, and was sentenced to a minimum jail term of 10 months.

Another family day care was supposedly running in a house with no electricity, while a third address led investigators to an abandoned garage, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The closures have seen the number of NSW Family Day Care services slashed by more than half since 2016, from 420 to 197.

The federal government is expected to save more than $674 million annually as a result of the investigation.

Defrauding the government of hundreds of millions of dollars, funnelling it to Islamic State and getting only 10 months jail? That's insulting to Aussies and absolutely ridiculous.

If I have read that correctly, the Muslim person pilfered $100,000.00. Others, including motorcycle gangs are involved. This is a direct consequence of Government paying money directly to the child care centers, instead of to the user families but that too is risky. I am unnerved by Dutton's involvement in these centers. I hope he has kept his dealings clean and above board.

I am sure that will be news to the Hell's Angels and the Comancheros.

Where do you think Mick Hawi, the Comanchero president, hailed from Brian?

They are certainly well represented when one sees the police drug raids on Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.

Regarding the Child Care Centres has anyone been sent to gaol over operating them or for abetting the creation of them in by providing child details etc.?

If I was in charge I would have the police checking every child care centre once a week with unannounced visits, wouldnt take long to figure out the dodgy ones.

Wasn't there a problem with Daycare/Childcare Centres several years ago?
