Queensland Premier Steven Miles is vowing to make school lunches free for every student in prep through to Year 6, if Labor is re-elected at the October 26 election.

    This would be amazing if they could pull it off. Would take a burden off parents as well - don’t have to keep track of lunch items, make lunch, drag lunchboxes out of bags, wash them etc.

    Great leveller as well if the kids doing it tough get the same food as everyone else.

    Do you have to be a student to get the free lunch

      What, are you asking if a random adult can walk into school and be given a free lunch?

        Ideally there would be a different building for it.

    I just get worried about the quality of the food that kids might get.

    eg, IIRC in the US, pizza is classed as a vegetable …
