Queensland's Child Safety Minister Shannon Fentiman has the Premier's full confidence, Annastacia Palaszczuk has declared.  Ms Fentiman has been labelled as "embarrassing" and "incompetent" by the opposition after the Tiahleigh Palmer case raised questions about the state's child safety mechanisms.  LNP leader Tim Nicholls and his child safety spokeswoman Ros Bates have repeatedly called for Ms Fentiman to be sacked.  News Tiahleigh Palmer's foster father Rick Thorburn, 56, had been charged with the schoolgirl's murder, forced the government to implement a major review by Family and Child Commissioner Cheryl Vardon that was last week expanded to include an expert panel.  It is examining the foster carer approval processes, the blue card system and elements of the Child Safety Department.  Ms Palaszczuk on Tuesday said Ms Vardon would do a thorough job.  "The police are also doing their investigation and I want both of them to get on with their job," she said.  "The minister is concentrating firmly on restoring frontline services in this state that were savagely cut under the former LNP government."  Ms Palaszczuk again criticised the LNP for cutting 225 frontline child safety positions and said Labor was restoring them, including the fast-tracking of 47 positions by the end of the year.  "We are identifying where there are further pressure points in the system," Ms Palaszczuk said.  Asked whether Ms Fentiman had her full confidence, the Premier replied: "Yes".  The review will also examine the impact of the LNP's 225 job cuts, however Mr Nicholls has argued it is not relevant because they were "business process-type positions".  Ms Fentiman did not attend Ms Palaszczuk's first major press conference since returning from holidays on Sunday, where she announced the appointment of an expert panel to help inform Ms Vardon's work.
Queensland's premier has again defended her Child Safety Minister Shannon Fentiman against suggestions her department is in crisis.
