The government will move to ban people from appealing if their working with children check is denied, after media reports highlighting cases where sex offenders and other criminals had been granted the checks on appeal.

So the article only seems to raise these two cases, and it’s not clear to me that either of these two people hurt any kids after appealing their check.

Is it just me or is this cooked? The right to appeal decisions seems fundamental to help reduce malfunctions or biases in a system. If the appeals process is too lax (doesn’t seem like it?) then strength it sure but wtf is this move?
