| The NSW government does not know how many reports of sexual abuse against children in state care it receives.
It decided that compiling totals of alleged abuse incidents was not a "reasonable" use of resources.
Government lawyers rejected a formal request for the numbers under freedom of information laws as NSW prepares for an Upper House inquiry into child protection services.
"It is not possible to auto-extract the information," a Department of Family and Community Services spokesman said.
Jacqui Reed, chief executive of the Create Foundation that represents children in care, called the lack of transparency "absolutely outrageous".
