Claire Achmad: Children's Commissioner on the report that found children are no safer today than after the death of Malachi Subecz

A call for action, with urgency, to keep New Zealand children safe. \xa0

The Independent Children's Monitor says tamariki are no safer today than when Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz died in 2021.\xa0

He was murdered by his carer in 2021, and a damning review recommended sweeping changes, but they are still yet to been implemented.\xa0

Children's Commissioner Claire Achmad told Mike Hosking we still lose one child every five weeks, on average, to homicide. \xa0

She says it has to galvanise New Zealand to real action, because we can't afford to keep leaving New Zealand children in environments where they can potentially be harmed.\xa0
