The chairperson of the CMC indicates in his message that the most noteworthy CMC activity during the fiscal year was the public inquiry into the abuse of children in foster care in Queensland. The inquiry concluded that the State's child protection system has for years failed children in many significant respects. The CMC delivered a comprehensive report to the State Parliament that provided a blueprint for practical and achievable reform. Although this inquiry dominated the CMC's work during the year, the commission's crime investigators continued to focus on those who use the Internet to victimize youth, resulting in a string of arrests of those accused of sexually propositioning children over the Internet. Strategic intelligence assessments by the CMC have determined that the illegal market in amphetamines poses the highest risk for Queensland citizens. CMC's organized-crime operations have focused on the amphetamine trade. In close cooperation with law enforcement agencies, the CMC participated in 15 operations against organized crime. Three of the operations succeeded in significantly disrupting the illicit amphetamine market in Queensland by dismantling well-established drug networks with interstate connections. This report also presents information and data on CMC's activities in the areas of intelligence, witness protection, public-sector misconduct, the promotion of public-sector integrity, and the management of the organization. A financial summary for the fiscal year is also provided. Six appendixes present supplementary data and information on specific CMC activities.
