Forced adoptions— Broken
Bonds, Fractured Lives report
793. Hon Michelle Hofmann to the minister representing
the Minister for Child Protection:
My question without
notice of which some notice has been given is to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Child Protection.
I refer to the minister's
answer on 12 August this year to my question on notice 361 on Report 66: Broken Bonds, Fractured Lives: Inquiry into
Past Forced Adoption in Western Australia and note that recommendations
33, 34 and 36 relating to adoptee access to records were not supported due to
complex legal, ethical and logistical considerations.
(1) Will the government table the legal or ethical
advice relied upon in making this decision?
(2) Has any independent legal or ethical review
been sought and, if so, by whom?
