Education Queensland has now launched legal action against Goodstart, which operates hundreds of other daycare centres around the country. Maliq 'Meeky' Nicholas Floyd Namok-Malamoo was dead found inside a Goodstart minibus on February 18, 2020.The barrister representing Goodstart, Dan Pratt, told the Cairns Magistrates Court the company intended entering a plea of guilty on all three charges.He said there would be a "very minor proposed amendment" to the third charge of failing to take reasonable steps to ensure documentation was accurate, but it would "still be a plea of guilty".
"I hope you can get in there and get the matter sorted and finalised on that day," Mr Morton told Mr Pratt.
