Breakfast

Creditors of the collapsed childcare giant ABC Learning will have their first administrators' meeting in Brisbane later this morning. ABC Learning, which employs 12,000 childcare staff and cares for over 100,000 children across Australia, placed itself in voluntary administration earlier this month. It has debts of more than $1 billion and receivers were appointed by its bankers. The federal government has provided $22 million to keep the centres open until the end of the year, but there are fears for the long- term future of many centres.
