> Queensland minister Amanda Camm resigned from cabinet after months of pressure over the state’s child safety system. She said the alleged attack on federal MP Helen Haines reinforced the need to take public figures’ wellbeing seriously, and described a year of harassment, threats, bullying and vilification. Camm also said her recovery was ongoing and she could not continue her ministerial duties.
