Vulnerable Children and Youth

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.32 pm]: Before we rose for the winter break, there was a quite disturbing article in The Guardian, which I am not sure members have seen. It is entitled “WA police officer escaped sanction for ‘shocking’ force against Indigenous boy”. I seek leave to table a copy of the article for members who may not have seen it.

695. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Child Protection:

I refer to the proposal to trial Aboriginal family-led decision-making.

(1)  Which organisations or individuals have been consulted, or does the department intend to consult, regarding the trial?

(2)  Have any resources been allocated to the trial?

(3)  If yes to (2), what resources have been allocated?

(4)  If no to (2), why not?
