Qld: Bligh asks CMC for advice on minister claim
Premier ANNA BLIGH has asked Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission to report
on claims that government ministers ordered Department of Child Safety workers not to
tell police about suspected child abuse cases on Cape York.
The claim from a north Queensland police officer follows outrage over the gang-rape
of a 10-year-old girl at Aurukun.
A team led by the CMC is investigating why the department took the girl from a safe
foster home in Cairns .. and then failed to promptly alert police of the crime.
Ms BLIGH says she'll release parts of the CMC's initial report later today .. but some
details can't be released because of privacy issues.
