NSW: DOCS chief must take on responsibility or resign: Oppn

The New South Wales opposition says the head of the Department of Community Services
should be stood down .. after claiming that homeless teenagers in custody aren't the department's
responsibility.

Children's Court magistrate PAUL MULRONEY has criticised the department in a report
in today's Sun Herald .. saying many of the young people released by the courts end up
in sub-standard accommodation .. or actually stay in custody because there's nowhere for
them to go.

Opposition juvenile justice spokeswoman CATHERINE CUSACK says the department is trying
to wash its hands of its responsibility towards young people in trouble with the law.
