Good morning. The Queensland government is in the firing line, accused of failing to provide adequate schooling to children who are locked up. Children held in the “youth hub” of the Caboolture police watch house are receiving about 44 minutes of schooling on average each weekday. Lessons at that level have been dismissed as “meaningless” by child advocates.

Meanwhile, we can reveal that while Peter Dutton travelled at his own expense to the lavish birthday party of Australia’s richest woman, Gina Rinehart, in Perth, his office billed taxpayers thousands of dollars for two staff to travel with him.
