Anne Warner - 1991, The Year That Changed Everything

Anne Warner - 1991, The Year That Changed Everything

This year (2021), marks 30 years since the 1991 amendments to Queensland's 1964 Adoption of Children Act. The 1991 amendments entitled adopted people and their parents to receive identifying information about each other - unless the other party had lodged an objection (veto). Parents and adopted people tirelessly lobbied for the amendments for more than a decade and almost saw their efforts fail when the Adoption Privacy Protection Group launched an eleventh hour campaign to maintain closed records. In this episode we speak to former Qld MP, Anne Warner who championed and sponsored the amendments when she was Minister for Family Services and Minister for Aboriginal and Islander Affairs. Anne reflects on this period, the compromises she was forced to make and the legislative amendments she says she is most proud of during her time as Minister. This episode discusses adult themes and listener discretion is advised. Former information go to http://www.jigsawqueensland.com/episode-notes
