Every Wednesday, Ali Moore takes a hypothetical question and asks “what if”, taking your calls and talking to experts in the field.

Today on 774 ABC Radio Melbourne Drive, What If Wednesday tackled the question: What if grandparents were paid for child care?

Press play to hear Ali discuss the question with Chris Grive, Chief Executive Officer of National Seniors Australia who is in favour of the idea. Then, hear from Ben Phillips, associate professor at the ANU Centre for Research and Methods, who is against the idea.
