Camm breaks week of silence on claims of kids sleeping on office floors

On July 4, 2026, Child Safety Minister Amanda Camm responded to recent claims that children had slept on office floors during government-led child protection efforts. Camm dismissed the allegations as 'gutter politics' from the Labor Party, asserting that current protocols for placing children in safe environments were established under the previous government. She stated that staff had provided 'brand new' bedding and clothing, and that children were placed in supervised care arrangements or temporary service centers with clean bedding. Camm also denied claims of funding cuts to service providers, arguing that some providers were exploiting vulnerable children and engaging in illegal activities such as cryptocurrency trading. The controversy emerged a week after initial reports, with Camm emphasizing the need for factual accuracy.
