New child protection laws pass South Australian parliament

The South Australian government has passed new child protection laws after securing enough support from the state's crossbench. Greens MLC Robert Simms and independent MLC Frank Pangallo on Tuesday signalled their support for the government's Children and Young People (Safety and Support) Bill, which proposes several reforms to the state's child protection and family support systems. The bill passed with amendments in the upper house on Tuesday night, which secured the passage of the legislation through parliament. Child Protection Minister Katrine Hildyard said the legislation "elevates the voices of children in decisions about their lives" and "puts maximum effort into reunifying children with their families where that's safe and right". "It enshrines the safety principle which ensures the safety of the child must always be the priority in determining whether or not to remove a child or young person from their family," she told the ABC on Wednesday morning. "It empowers Aboriginal families to lead decision-making about their children." Mr Simms said the Greens have secured some amendments that "strengthen the reunification principle" and the importance of keeping families together where possible. The bill has previously faced criticisms from stakeholders in the sector, including from SA's Guardian for Children and Young People, Shona Reid, who said the reforms do not comply with United Nations conventions.
