Last night’s excellent SBS Insight program, "Removing Kids" and continuing coverage of the Cummins Inquiry report on Victoria’s vulnerable children lead today’s media update. A likely new service provider for former Community Connections programs and a funding cloud over a successful housing program also feature.

SBS Insight, "Removing Kids"
This program, which aired last night, was a compelling, nuanced and necessary discussion of removing children that put at the heart of the story the personal experience of young people, carers and a parent whose children were removed and later returned. The program can now be seen online.
