Government drops ball on child safety; ignores questions
 
Western Australia Senator Fatima Payman has written to the Prime Minister, demanding answers to her questions about why he's ignoring Productivity Commission recommendations on early childhood safety.
 
The questions, which have gone unanswered for four months, relate directly to the safety of children as stipulated by the commission.

A copy of the letter is attached.
