Apparently we had a Minister for State in the last government for older people, but it's gone now. Instead we have a minister for children.

I think with the importance of the childrens referendum is why it is given such importance. Older people have been impacted less by the recession than children IMO.
We need a minister for ugly people like me. We are discriminated agianst and no none gives damn.
Lol. so you're not just ugly but bitter, resentful and twisted as well!

Part of the problem was that there were many gaps between the services provided by these Depts, and some children were literally falling between these cracks. Hence the need for a seperate Department to ensure end-to-end services are available.I don't understand this decision at all. I think a junior ministry would have been much more appropriate. I know there are a lot of issues affecting children, but a lot of them are already being dealt with by other Departments who have a full focus on health or education or justice or protection.
