Yoorrook Commissioner Hunter responds to the Minister for Child Protection and Family Services
Responding to an apology from Victoria's Minister for Child Protection and Family Services, The Hon. Lizzie Blandthorn MLC in which she acknowledged the impact of child removals, Yoorrook Commissioner Sue-Anne Hunter said: "Our children should be able to grow up healthy, happy, strong, connected, knowing their culture and who they are in themselves. But for thousands of our children involved in the child protection system, this is not the case." "It must urgently change."
