Queensland minister Amanda Camm has resigned from cabinet, The Guardian and ABC News Australia both reported. Camm, who serves as the member for Whitsunday, announced on Friday that she is stepping down as the state's child safety minister and domestic and family violence prevention minister. [1][2]

The Guardian and ABC News Australia both report that Camm faced months of intense scrutiny before her departure. Concerns included children in residential care sleeping on office floors and budget cuts to domestic violence prevention. Camm stated that her decision to resign was hers alone and cited a recent alleged attack on federal parliamentarian Helen Haines, adding that some criticism had moved beyond public accountability. [1][2]

According to ABC News Australia, Camm's departure will trigger a mini reshuffle within the Queensland cabinet. This marks the first movement on the frontbench since Premier David Crisafulli took office in 2024. [2]
