An urgent overhaul of a "broken" child protection system is set to begin as a state minister became embroiled in a major inquiry's shocking findings.
The Queensland government has blamed the previous Labor administration's "ignorance and inaction" after the Child Safety Commission of Inquiry final report's sobering data was revealed.
Child Safety Minister Amanda Camm promptly announced kids under the age of five would be removed from state residential care in response to the report tabled on Wednesday.
The inquiry's report exposed years of systemic failure and shocking outcomes for some of the nation's most vulnerable children, triggering an overhaul by a cabinet subcommittee set to meet on Thursday.
However Ms Camm came under pressure over the report, saying she was "not concerned" by data revealing fewer than half of urgent 24-hour priority assessments were being carried out on time under her watch.
