Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has taken aim at the treatment of two foster carers who had an Aboriginal baby and toddler removed from their care after reporting concerns of sexual abuse.
'Chilling': Jacinta Price blasts treatment of NT foster carers who lost custody of Aboriginal infants after reporting sexual abuse concerns to authorities
The children were removed from the care of the non-Indigenous women after they made a mandatory notification about the highly sexualised behaviour being exhibited by the older child. “If these reports are true, they are a chilling example of both the dysfunction in out-of-home care and the sexual abuse of indigenous children.”
“That isn’t a standard we apply to Australian children of other heritage, so why is this government continuing to apply a double standard to indigenous children to their detriment?” “For all of their lip service about closing the gap and wanting to see improvement in the lives of Indigenous people, the actions of the Albanese government make it close to impossible for the lives of these children to be improved.”
