Labor's alternative facts

Labor have have yet again proven their party is unravelling, with further alternative facts today in Parliament.

Rebecca White accused me of not managing over 100 Priority 1 cases of child protection notifications in Burnie and Devonport.

Ms White might need to check her sources - there are in fact NO Priority 1 notifications in the North West, nor are there any Priority 1 notifications state-wide.

There are 34 Priority 2 cases (22 in the North West, 3 in the North, 9 in the South), and three Priority 3 cases (all in the North West) state-wide.

All these cases are being actively managed and triaged in accordance with regular practice and assessment frameworks.

Before Labor MPs further embarrass themselves, they need to get their facts straight.
