Australian schools students are Australian children, and parents are the first educators of our children. It should not be left up to school programs, which are so often based on ideology of the day, to be educating our children in sex education. While we support schools complementing the work of parents in this area, primary aged children cannot, by default, be taught about consent when they are not in a position to either give or deny consent. They are children. Our parents have the first responsibility to ensure their children are equipped to engage in respectful relationships. We will be opposing this.
