Queensland Child Safety Minister resignation

Overview

Queensland Child Safety Minister Amanda Camm resigned from the state cabinet, stepping down from her roles in families, seniors, disability services, and domestic and family violence prevention. Camm stated her decision was “mine and mine alone,” citing health concerns following recent surgery and recent attacks on Helen Haines. Her resignation occurred amid scrutiny regarding an undeclared relationship with fellow cabinet member Tim Mander, potential conflicts of interest, and departmental issues including a lack of progress updates from a domestic violence reform oversight office.

Premier David Crisafulli defended Camm, noting she entered a “broken system.” Following her departure, conservative backbencher Amanda Stoker was sworn in as the new minister to oversee child safety, domestic and family violence prevention, and disability services.
