Episode Details

Police are investigating a devastating sexual assault allegation involving a teenage girl in residential care west of Brisbane, with the Child Safety Minister calling it “heinous” and authorities treating it with extreme urgency. This comes as Queensland prepares to introduce a landmark bill creating the new Queensland Protection Commission — set to launch in February — designed to unify child safety, health, education, and police efforts under one roof to better detect, prevent, and respond to abuse. The commission will double penalties for failing to report to the Working with Children Check Scheme and is directly responding to recommendations from a review of a notorious child sex offender, aiming to close critical gaps in current systems and build a stronger shield for vulnerable residents.
