The petition of Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House
to the systemic failure of the Families Department and other instruments
of Government associated with child welfare to protect children from
abuse.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to resolve to request the
Government to establish as a matter of urgency a Royal Commission into
all forms of child abuse in Queensland with particular reference to the
failure of the Families Department and other instruments of Government to
protect children in care. The Royal Commission must be given the
broadest scope to investigate these issues.
