The Greens have welcomed the State Government’s planned apology to women, children and families affected by the decades-long mistreatment of unmarried mothers by authorities, due to be presented in Parliament this Tuesday.

Greens MLC Alison Xamon described the previous practice of taking children from unwed mothers without their consent or under coercion as “institutionalised baby theft.”
