The federal education minister, Jason Clare, says the “drip feed” of information about the work history of alleged paedophile Joshua Dale Brown highlights the urgent need for a national database to track childcare workers.

On Wednesday, another childcare centre was confirmed by police as being among Brown’s work history, bringing the total number of his known childcare workplaces to 23.
