Questions without notice
Children and young people—care and protection
MR SESELJA: My question is to the Minister for Community Services. Minister, the Public Advocate’s report of her review of the emergency response strategy for children in crisis in the ACT says of your directorate that, in engaging an NGO that was not a suitable entity to undertake residential care for children in the care of the director-general, the directorate was in breach of the Children and Young People Act. Minister, what responsibility do you take, as minister, for this breach of the law by your directorate, a law that your directorate administers?
