Queensland minister Amanda Camm resigns amid child safety and DFV criticism

Amanda Camm, the Queensland minister responsible for child safety and domestic and family violence, has decided to step down, according to sources. Her tenure has been marked by intense criticism, including reports that children in state residential care were found sleeping on the floor of child-safety offices and recent reductions to the domestic-family-violence prevention budget. The resignation will trigger a small reshuffle within the state cabinet, the first such move since David Crisafulli assumed the premiership in 2024.

Opposition figures have called for her removal, labeling the child-protection system a "crisis" after data showed a near-60 percent rise in child deaths known to child safety in a year. The premier is slated to speak to the media this morning about the upcoming changes.
