This is a great policy, and would go someway to keeping kids in school, and addressing one of the root causes of youth crime from an early age.
This is progressive thinking, and we need more of it!

Another great measure from Miles.
Free school lunches not only improves student health and learning outcomes, but it also helps families with cost of living pressures and logistics, giving them back more time.
It’s a win-win.

Steven Miles and Labor are on your side – free lunches for school children and the most progressive government Queensland will ever have. Only Labor can take pressure off parents. This upcoming QLD election, vote [1] ALP

As a child from a family that at least acted poor, I fully support this.
I used to get bullied for bringing a simple lunch to school. 1x carrott stick, 1x Celery and 1x biscuit smashed into 1x later 2x sandwiches. I fully thank my mum for making this and giving me a healthy lunch.
My Children at the moment though leave late to school. Why? my wife basically refuses to make the lunch till 5 minutes before hand.
The impact of free lunches will be enormous. It means a few cooks are doing the work of many hundreds of mums, they will do it better and buy the ingredents for less.
