We continue our ongoing quest for Child Protection Minister Simone McGurk to come on the show, with two more foster carers coming forward to lift the lid once again on dysfunction at the Department of Communities.
The WA Premier declined to speak on the matter, while Ms McGurk’s office said: "Thanks for reaching out. The Minister won’t be taking you up on this right now, but appreciate the offer.”
In 6PR Mornings ongoing investigation, Liam Bartlett talks to Katie, who with her husband have been foster carers for more than 15 years.
A few weeks ago, Katie was pushed to the brink when two children in her care aged one and 18 months old since birth raised concerns that potential a foster home for these kids had drugs and domestic abuse attached to them.
Sandra, who has worked for DCP for six years and became a foster carer as of last week, said she has been broken by the system. She lost her career, her car, and her mental health.
