In November 2015 the NSW Government gave retired senior public servant David Tune the task of conducting an independent review of the out-of-home care system in the state.
In August 2016 the then Baird Government Cabinet considered his report.
However, it took until 2018, on the heel of threats from the NSW Upper House, before this report was released by the Berejiklian Government.
Although details of this report have become available to mainstream media, as yet there is no complete copy on the NSW Government's Family & Community Services or "Their Futures Matter" websites.
So it was not surprising to see the responsible minister duck for cover.
The Guardian, 13 June 2018:
NSW minister for family
services Pru Goward blamed the premier’s department for the decision to
withhold a
damning report into NSW’s out-of-home care system.
Goward appeared on ABC
Canberra radio on Wednesday morning and when the questioning turned from local
issues to the Tune report she appeared to end the interview abruptly with: “I
have to go.”
