Children's Commissioner Jacqueline McGowan-Jones claims Corrective Services Minister Paul Papalia took her words out of context on Banksia Hill

The day after a teenager took his own life in WA's troubled Banksia Hill Detention Centre last week, the Corrective Services Minister said the state's top child advocate had given the facility a "glowing report". But Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, who is the commissioner for children and young people, has told ABC Stateline she's devastated that her observations were used out of context. As Ms McGowan-Jones told WA political reporter Rhiannon Shine, the state's record on youth justice is appalling in the eyes of the country and the world.
