FORCED
ADOPTIONS
996. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I
refer the Premier to the Barnett government's 2010 apology to women,
their children and families affected by past adoption practices. I note that
the Premier and several of his ministers passionately supported the apology
motion. I also note that despite inquiries in other jurisdictions, the Western Australian
Parliament is yet to conduct an inquiry into the practice of forced adoption.
It has been more than 10 years since the Western Australian government
officially apologised to survivors of forced adoption. Will the government
support a long overdue parliamentary inquiry?
