Though used since 2019, advocates say it’s becoming alarmingly common, citing recent cases in Toowoomba and Ipswich West. Critics argue the move is deeply damaging, especially for children already facing instability, while the government defends it as an emergency measure, claiming accommodation is sourced within hours. Recent policy shifts — including banning hotels for young children and cracking down on unlicensed providers — are blamed for the uptick. The Premier insists his minister is tackling a decade of systemic failures, as the government prepares to implement 52 recommendations from a recent inquiry within two months.
