Summary
Child Safety Minister Amanda Camm is firing back at opposition claims that kids removed from unsafe homes were left sleeping on the floor at government offices, calling it “gutter politics” and insisting staff provided new bedding and clothing. She clarified that temporary placements in service centers—rare but protocol-driven—follow strict standards set by the prior government. Camm denied cutting funding, instead citing expired contracts with unlicensed providers allegedly misusing funds, some now under investigation for serious misconduct including abuse. The controversy erupted a week ago, with unions and whistleblowers raising alarms, while Camm avoided detailed questions earlier in the week amid reports of a migraine. Meanwhile, the opposition leader focused on broader political issues at a party conference.
