Story summary

Amanda Camm, the embattled Queensland child safety and domestic violence minister, has resigned from her cabinet positions due to health and safety concerns. This decision follows months of intense public pressure and criticism over issues such as children sleeping on floors in child safety offices and budget cuts for the prevention sector. The resignation is expected to trigger a reshuffle in the state's cabinet, with Premier David Crisafulli addressing the media shortly after 8am on Friday. Camm cited recent harassment, threats, bullying, and vilification that went beyond public scrutiny as reasons for her decision. She had recently taken six weeks of medical leave, including undergoing surgery, and felt unable to continue under the ongoing stresses and workload. The number of children known to child safety who have died increased by almost 60% in a year, leading to renewed calls from the opposition for ministerial accountability.
