## Summary

Queensland minister Amanda Camm has resigned from her domestic and family violence and child safety portfolio, citing health concerns and threats and harassment she says she has faced. She linked her decision to the alleged attack on federal MP Helen Haines, while Premier David Crisafulli said Camm chose to step down and described the child safety system she inherited as broken.

Camm had faced months of scrutiny over child safety failures, including a nearly 60 per cent rise in deaths among children known to authorities, children in state care sleeping in government offices and problems with a $183 million IT system. Services for domestic and family violence were also cut by $38.5 million in the state budget. Camm will remain the MP for Whitsunday but has not said whether she will contest the next election, due by October 2028.
