Child protection
Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (10:03): I move, by leave:
That this house condemns the Minister for Children for the ongoing failures of Victoria’s child protection system while vulnerable children and young people are being sexually exploited and abused and are dying in tragically high numbers under her watch and the state’s care while she focuses instead on partisan politic attacks.
Leave refused.
Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (10:03): I move, by leave:
That this house condemns the Minister for Children for the neglect of children and young people under her care, including failure to address the high numbers of children in residential care going missing and fleeing for their safety and the illicit drug use by vulnerable children in residential care and calls on her to focus on their protection rather than engaging in divisive political tactics.
Leave refused.
Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (10:03): I move, by leave:
That this house condemns the Minister for Children for the crisis in the child protection system of this government’s making, for failing to remove children at risk from their environment, for the thousands of at-risk children waiting for a caseworker and calls on her to focus on protecting vulnerable children instead of concentrating on political attacks.
Leave refused.
Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (10:04): I move, by leave:
That this house condemns the Minister for Children for the deliberate lack of transparency on the failures of the child protection system under the Allan Labor government and her cover-ups of those failures, including flouting parliamentary standing orders to avoid scrutiny and secretive behaviour to hide the degradation of the Victorian child protection system.
Leave refused.
