Steve Kinmond demands release of confidential dismissal report, disputing allegations over baby shower and leadership.
Former Children's Guardian Steve Kinmond, dismissed over allegations of improper conduct including poor leadership and alleged involvement in a controversial baby shower, is urging the government to release confidential parts of the report justifying his removal.
He claims the findings, particularly regarding the baby shower, "don't pass the pub test" and argues that his evidence—contained in a redacted annexure—has not been made public despite his requests.
Kinmond also disputes allegations of intervening in a Working with Children Check, with the individual involved consenting to the release of her portion of the report.
The dismissal followed a review prompted by the incident, and the government has since passed legislation allowing the minister to fire the Children's Guardian without parliamentary approval.
