Shameful attack on Key Assets

Labor’s shameful attack in Parliament on Key Assets is politically motivated, and based on untested claims.

These unsubstantiated attacks have negative impacts on not only the organisation in question, but also foster carers statewide, and children in foster care.

Key Assets is a not for profit organisation with 20 years experience supporting foster carers, children and young people in care, especially those with complex needs.

In his attempt to tarnish me Mr Green has taken as fact claims from one email, which have not been substantiated.

The claims made have been denied by Key Assets, and recent photos of the property clearly dispute.

I encourage Mr Green to take up the offer made yesterday by Key Assets to meet with them and visit the property and children in question.

It is important to note, as I said yesterday, that there is no suggestion that any of the 56 children under the care of Key Assets are not safe or well cared for.

All complaints from foster carers are investigated via a long established complaints process.

Photos of the foster home raised by Mr Green in Parliament yesterday are available to media.
