What if your child's sex education class wasn't teaching what you think it is? In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson sits down with teacher representative Ed Schuller to discuss claims about explicit sexual education materials being used in Australian schools. They unpack where the resources come from, why many parents never see them, and the questions every family should be asking. Whatever your views, this conversation is about one thing. Helping parents understand what their children are being taught and encouraging them to be active partners in their child's education. KEY POINTS • Why many parents don't know what is included in some sex education programs. • The role of third party organisations in delivering lessons. • The difference between teaching puberty, consent, and more explicit content. • Practical questions parents can ask their child's school. • How to stay informed without creating conflict with teachers or principals. • Why parent involvement matters when sensitive topics are taught. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "You cannot be passive. You need to know exactly what your child is being taught." RESOURCES MENTIONED • Teacher's Professional Association of Queensland (TPAQ) • Teachers Professional Association of Australia (TPAA) • Sexual and Reproductive Health Australia (SRHA) • Happy Families • Respectful Relationships education ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS • Ask your school who delivers sex education lessons. • Request to see the teaching materials before lessons begin. • Talk with your child about what they learned in class. • Approach your child's principal with curiosity and specific questions. • Stay involved in conversations about topics that matter to your family.

[0:05] Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to the Happy Families podcast, Real Parenty Solutions.
[0:08] Speaker 1: Every single day. Normally on a Friday, Kylie and I
[0:11] Speaker 1: sit down and we haven't I'll do better tomorrow chat
[0:14] Speaker 1: where we reflect on the week that was and highlight
[0:17] Speaker 1: what's worked and what hasn't. But today's something different. The
[0:21] Speaker 1: reason being well twofold number one. I've been away in
[0:24] Speaker 1: Melbourne and Adelaide doing talks all over the country trying
[0:26] Speaker 1: to help families to be happier. But secondly, last week,
[0:29] Speaker 1: when I was listening to a podcast, all right, I'm
[0:32] Speaker 1: going to confess, I was listening to Carl Stephanovick's podcast.
[0:35] Speaker 1: He had a conversation with a guy called Ed Shuler,
[0:38] Speaker 1: and it was about the content that our kids are
[0:42] Speaker 1: receiving in sex education classes in public and private schools
[0:47] Speaker 1: in most states and territories, in primary school and high school.
[0:54] Speaker 1: And it left me flawed, quite honestly left me. I
[0:59] Speaker 1: just thought, I've got to do a podcast about this.
[1:01] Speaker 1: I need to let everyone know, because I know that
[1:02] Speaker 1: not everybody listens to Carl. It's leading me sometimes, but
[1:05] Speaker 1: this one grabbed me, and I'm really glad I did so. Today.
[1:09] Speaker 1: The conversation is pretty simple. What are our kids hearing?
[1:13] Speaker 1: Why are they hearing it? Where has this come up?
[1:16] Speaker 1: We need to talk about it. That's next. Stay with
[1:18] Speaker 1: us on the Happy Families podcast. Gooday, Welcome to Happy
[1:23] Speaker 1: Families Podcast, Real Parenting Solutions every single day. Edward Shaw
[1:28] Speaker 1: is the Secretary of the Teachers Professional Association of Queensland
[1:32] Speaker 1: and the National Secretary of its parent body, the tp
[1:35] Speaker 1: double A. It's part of the Red Union Group, which
[1:38] Speaker 1: office teaches an alternative to the traditional union movement and
[1:42] Speaker 1: it's also non labor aligned, which I think is useful.
[1:46] Speaker 1: It's nice to know that there are some unions that
[1:48] Speaker 1: are supporting teachers that aren't saying that you also have
[1:52] Speaker 1: to have a particular political persuasion. Ed has also become
[1:58] Speaker 1: one of the most outspoken voice is nationally on curriculum content,
[2:02] Speaker 1: on school choice and what he sees as the sexualization
[2:06] Speaker 1: of children in education. And Ed joins me right now.
[2:11] Speaker 1: Ed walked me through exactly what was taught to which
[2:14] Speaker 1: year levels, Like what have you actually seen the materials themselves,
[2:18] Speaker 1: reports from teachers from parents, Where did all this come from?
[2:21] Speaker 2: Thanks having me on justin really appreciate it and love
[2:23] Speaker 2: the work that you do. Wanted to. I guess start
[2:26] Speaker 2: off more broadly with I've come across, over my time
[2:30] Speaker 2: in this role, a number of these sort of incidents,
[2:32] Speaker 2: and I've thought each time, oh, this is sort of
[2:34] Speaker 2: a one off, Oh this is sort of an isolated thing.
[2:36] Speaker 2: Oh it's a bit of a faux path from a
[2:37] Speaker 2: particular school engaging this sort of speaker. And I guess
[2:41] Speaker 2: what we've uncovered in the past week or two is that, no,
[2:45] Speaker 2: this is a systematic issue. Is that there is a
[2:48] Speaker 2: broad scale third party organization under the federal bunner of
[2:53] Speaker 2: the SRHA, Sexual and Reproductive Health Australia, and they've got
[2:57] Speaker 2: their services available to every single state school, every single
[3:00] Speaker 2: private school in the country, and they are the leading
[3:02] Speaker 2: provider of sexual education in our schooling system. And the
[3:08] Speaker 2: interesting point is, and I won't labor it too much
[3:10] Speaker 2: because I want to stay focused on how this is
[3:12] Speaker 2: impacting kids, but this group started off as essentially and
[3:16] Speaker 2: it's still the planned parent go to Australia so very much.
[3:19] Speaker 2: They offer abortion services, they offer transgender surgery services as well,
[3:24] Speaker 2: so that's their modus operando, if that makes sense. They've
[3:27] Speaker 2: come into the sexual education space and they are the
[3:30] Speaker 2: leading provider by Far and Away.
[3:32] Speaker 1: Before you go on with anything else, I just want
[3:33] Speaker 1: to highlight if you're a parent listening to this particular
[3:36] Speaker 1: episode of the podcast with your children, the content that
[3:39] Speaker 1: we're about to discuss is probably for mature audiences. As
[3:43] Speaker 1: a parent, you can make up your own mind, but
[3:45] Speaker 1: I certainly wouldn't be letting my kids listen to it
[3:47] Speaker 1: if they're under at least the age of twelve, probably fifteen.
[3:50] Speaker 1: So with that caveat, I'll give you a chance to
[3:52] Speaker 1: press pause or find another podcast, or I don't know,
[3:55] Speaker 1: find a song to listen to. Let's talk specifically about
[3:58] Speaker 1: where the content was this othered and what it was
[4:01] Speaker 1: and when I heard you talking to Carl. If I'm
[4:04] Speaker 1: perfectly honest, I don't think that you were clear enough
[4:07] Speaker 1: about the seriousness of the content. Now that we've given
[4:11] Speaker 1: the content warning as I'm comfortable it is to talk
[4:14] Speaker 1: about it, and I'm certainly not trying to be alarmist here.
[4:18] Speaker 1: What I usually find is it's too easy to gloss
[4:20] Speaker 1: over this. Can you please be really clear about what
[4:23] Speaker 1: the content was, who was reporting it, just whatever you
[4:26] Speaker 1: can tell about that part of the story.
[4:29] Speaker 2: Yes, certainly so, I mean it goes without knowing.
[4:32] Speaker 1: Now that you know, you've got to give a content
[4:34] Speaker 1: warning for audio listeners shouldn't be in our schools.
[4:38] Speaker 2: But this particular case was from the Queensland branch, so
[4:41] Speaker 2: it's called True Education. This is the Queensland branch of
[4:44] Speaker 2: the sh and they were basically providing material which you
[4:50] Speaker 2: could argue is pornographic to primary school students, all girls
[4:53] Speaker 2: school on the Gold Coast, very private. You know, you're
[4:56] Speaker 2: paying tens of thousands intuition every year. You'd be wanting,
[5:00] Speaker 2: you know, education for the Charlotte School at Christian School
[5:03] Speaker 2: as well, so you'd be wanting particular values instilled. But
[5:07] Speaker 2: what was given to these children by True Education was
[5:09] Speaker 2: very graphic details around masturbation, around wet dreams, around sexual consent.
[5:15] Speaker 2: And this is all for young girls. And this information
[5:18] Speaker 2: was provided in visual form. It wasn't a conversation, a
[5:21] Speaker 2: one to one conversation. And the most important part is
[5:25] Speaker 2: the parents don't know necessarily what is going on because
[5:28] Speaker 2: when parents sign consent forms about sexual education to the school,
[5:33] Speaker 2: automatically in their head is what they experienced when they
[5:36] Speaker 2: were in school in sex ed which might have been
[5:38] Speaker 2: about say sex, you know, using a condom, or more innocently,
[5:42] Speaker 2: just what happens to your body during puberty. This is
[5:44] Speaker 2: not what's happening anymore. This is not what is happening
[5:46] Speaker 2: in our school. So that is more graphic stuff that's
[5:48] Speaker 2: happening in the primary school system, but in secondary it's
[5:52] Speaker 2: even worse. It's even worse. And I pulled up a
[5:55] Speaker 2: graphic on the Carl Stephanovic Show, and I'll try to
[5:58] Speaker 2: describe it as best as I can now, but it's
[5:59] Speaker 2: based all of these different I guess, debocherous sexual positions,
[6:03] Speaker 2: you know, describing threesomes and the use of strap on dialdos,
[6:07] Speaker 2: all of this sort of stuff, and all of it
[6:09] Speaker 2: in graphic form. Are two page spread showing young children
[6:14] Speaker 2: all of these different pornographic material, and it's very confronting.
[6:18] Speaker 2: And the caption on that page was your imagination is
[6:22] Speaker 2: the limit. I mean, this is this is what we're
[6:25] Speaker 2: teaching children about using their imagination. It's just it's a
[6:28] Speaker 2: horrific state that we're in. And I've got to stress
[6:31] Speaker 2: as well, it's not a one off. This is an
[6:33] Speaker 2: organization which is one state body out of a federal coalition,
[6:37] Speaker 2: and I think we'll be able to touch on this
[6:40] Speaker 2: more so. But this stuff is government funded. So while
[6:42] Speaker 2: these are non government organizations, they're external parties, they are
[6:46] Speaker 2: overwhelmingly government funded. In the last five years alone, have
[6:50] Speaker 2: received over two hundred and thirty million dollars. That's almost
[6:53] Speaker 2: that's a quarter of a billion dollars last five years too,
[6:57] Speaker 2: largely their sexual education program, and then again the ancillary
[7:01] Speaker 2: services of abortion and transgender surgery.
[7:05] Speaker 1: And it sounds like we're in the wrong business. We
[7:06] Speaker 1: could make a lot more money doing other things. When
[7:10] Speaker 1: you held up the images on the YouTube of the podcast,
[7:14] Speaker 1: so I was listening to it an audio, I actually
[7:16] Speaker 1: went to the YouTube to see if I wondered if
[7:18] Speaker 1: there was a bit of bluster here. If I'm perfectly honest,
[7:21] Speaker 1: I was skeptical when you held up the images. I
[7:25] Speaker 1: don't even have words for how astonished I was. The
[7:31] Speaker 1: content is probably reasonably useful and reasonably accurate for the
[7:36] Speaker 1: right person at the right time, for the right reasons.
[7:39] Speaker 1: If my children were being exposed to this, I would
[7:42] Speaker 1: be incensed. This is just to me, it's not acceptable
[7:48] Speaker 1: content at all. Still, man, the other side, for me,
[7:53] Speaker 1: why would a school or a provider of this content
[7:57] Speaker 1: say that this is age appropriate it and evidence based?
[8:02] Speaker 1: How and why would they or could they?
[8:05] Speaker 2: I think what they would say is that society's sexual
[8:09] Speaker 2: proclaimities these days is very different to what it was
[8:11] Speaker 2: twenty years go, very different to sixty years ago. So
[8:13] Speaker 2: we've got to show all of the most partner my
[8:16] Speaker 2: language fed up that there is out there to these
[8:18] Speaker 2: children so they can know how to do that ft up.
[8:21] Speaker 2: And I think that's a very bad way of going
[8:23] Speaker 2: about it. I think they wouldn't categorize in those terms,
[8:25] Speaker 2: but it's essentially there are these practices now which are
[8:28] Speaker 2: very popular, and we need to make sure that kids
[8:31] Speaker 2: know how to do them safely. I just want to
[8:33] Speaker 2: pick up as well. Graphics were one part, but the
[8:35] Speaker 2: actual content in the wording is another. And there are
[8:38] Speaker 2: so many countless documents. Again, this is one of the
[8:40] Speaker 2: state bodies, and this is just one of the documents,
[8:43] Speaker 2: and it's talking about ethical pornography, and it's encouraging children
[8:47] Speaker 2: to perhaps buy pornography online using money instead of watching
[8:53] Speaker 2: normal pornography or whatever because it might be you know,
[8:56] Speaker 2: the actors are better treated or something like this. But
[8:58] Speaker 2: it's talking about ethical pornography and how pornography is part
[9:01] Speaker 2: of anyone's healthy sexual life, and it's like, why are
[9:04] Speaker 2: we telling this to eleven in year twelve kids and
[9:08] Speaker 2: then the other stuff to primary school kids. I mean,
[9:10] Speaker 2: it's really it's just perverse, and you've got to ask,
[9:13] Speaker 2: who are these people behind this doing such a thing
[9:16] Speaker 2: to children.
[9:16] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those challenges as well, where if
[9:18] Speaker 1: we look at the stats around pornography years I've just
[9:21] Speaker 1: been through this as I've written my book about Boys,
[9:24] Speaker 1: we know that about thirty four percent of fifteen to
[9:26] Speaker 1: twenty nine year old males consuming explicit content pornography online
[9:30] Speaker 1: on a daily basis, and a further fifty three percent
[9:33] Speaker 1: on a weekly basis, which means we've got about eighty
[9:35] Speaker 1: seven percent of fifteen to twenty nine year old males
[9:37] Speaker 1: consuming it regularly. I would imagine that part of that
[9:40] Speaker 1: stillmin argument would be where they're already seeing it, so
[9:42] Speaker 1: we're just trying to put some safeguards around it. I
[9:45] Speaker 1: still don't think that we should be encouraging it. To me,
[9:48] Speaker 1: that's really concerning ED after break, I want to ask
[9:51] Speaker 1: you some questions around how parents can find solutions here
[9:56] Speaker 1: where parents areware, what can parents do about it? All
[10:00] Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So we'll continue this conversation in
[10:04] Speaker 1: just a Sex. Stay with us. We're back as the
[10:13] Speaker 1: Happy Family's podcast ed Shula talking about the explicit content
[10:17] Speaker 1: that our children around the country are being exposed to
[10:20] Speaker 1: in primary school, high school, especially their later high school years.
[10:24] Speaker 1: That would concern I think most parents who want to
[10:27] Speaker 1: help their children to be safe in their understanding of
[10:31] Speaker 1: what's going on with intimacy and sexuality. Hey, Ed, you've
[10:35] Speaker 1: mentioned this in brief already, but I want to go
[10:38] Speaker 1: a little deeper on this. You've mentioned that a lot
[10:41] Speaker 1: of parents aren't aware of what's going on. To what
[10:43] Speaker 1: degree are parents told about this? How much comparents opt out?
[10:48] Speaker 1: And maybe a deeper question again your chief objection is
[10:51] Speaker 1: it to the content itself or is it to the
[10:53] Speaker 1: lack of transparency around it.
[10:55] Speaker 2: It's the content itself. The lack of transparency is why
[10:58] Speaker 2: it's been able to pervade this so long. But overwhelmingly
[11:01] Speaker 2: we're not going to inquivocate on this. What is being
[11:03] Speaker 2: shown is some of the most deboucherous stuff. It's not
[11:05] Speaker 2: good for society, it's not good for children to see,
[11:08] Speaker 2: and it's certainly not okay for children to be shown
[11:11] Speaker 2: this content by third party organizations under the auspice of
[11:15] Speaker 2: sex ed really to no knowledge of the parents because
[11:19] Speaker 2: they're signing these waivers. Like I said, they still got
[11:21] Speaker 2: to sign them, but they're signing them not seeing the
[11:23] Speaker 2: content itself. My task to every single parent out there
[11:27] Speaker 2: is they bang on the door of the principal's office
[11:29] Speaker 2: before you sign any forms. Make sure you see exactly
[11:32] Speaker 2: what organization is engaged, and if it's one of these organizations,
[11:37] Speaker 2: you want to be seeing the content before it's given
[11:39] Speaker 2: to your kid. Again, you are not safe from this.
[11:41] Speaker 2: Your children are not safe from this in a private school.
[11:43] Speaker 2: This is rife in the public system, yes, But the
[11:46] Speaker 2: examples that I gave on the Carl Stefanovic podcast, but
[11:49] Speaker 2: also a number of others. These are well off Anglican
[11:52] Speaker 2: schools in Victoria, they're Christian schools in Queensland, they're just
[11:56] Speaker 2: independent schools in wa. This is happening everywhere. So you've
[12:00] Speaker 2: got to be active as a parent. You cannot be passive.
[12:02] Speaker 2: You cannot say, ah, well they can take care of that.
[12:05] Speaker 2: It's an uncomfortable conversation. I know that this is the
[12:08] Speaker 2: sort of advice that you you would give justin is
[12:10] Speaker 2: to have some of those uncomfortable conversations with your children.
[12:13] Speaker 2: It must be had because they have the conversations being
[12:16] Speaker 2: had in the completely wrong way and they're being introduced
[12:19] Speaker 2: some horrible stuff at a young age. And again, just
[12:22] Speaker 2: to pick up on what you said before the break
[12:23] Speaker 2: talking about how well the kids are seeing this, you
[12:26] Speaker 2: know there's eighty seven percent of young men fifteen to
[12:28] Speaker 2: twenty nine that are consuming pornography at least weekly. What
[12:32] Speaker 2: stay are we in as a society where then our
[12:34] Speaker 2: conviction is to say, oh, well, well, I guess we're
[12:36] Speaker 2: just completely lost our way. We've all become perverted and
[12:39] Speaker 2: this is bad for our mental health. But we better
[12:42] Speaker 2: just make sure, you know, we entrenched that further. We've
[12:45] Speaker 2: got to go back the other way completely and make
[12:47] Speaker 2: sure it's very clear that this should be parent led
[12:50] Speaker 2: education and parents know best. Parents will not be okay
[12:54] Speaker 2: with this sort of stuff being thought to their children.
[12:56] Speaker 2: And I think that's the bottom line. Reversing the all
[13:00] Speaker 2: of authority here from third party government funded organizations to
[13:05] Speaker 2: parents again, that will be the key to doing this.
[13:07] Speaker 2: So parents are going to make noise at your local school,
[13:09] Speaker 2: but please know as well that your principal's hands are
[13:12] Speaker 2: tied a lot of the time, particularly in the state system,
[13:15] Speaker 2: but you can certainly do part in talking to the
[13:18] Speaker 2: principle and making sure that your child is at least
[13:20] Speaker 2: not participating in those classes.
[13:22] Speaker 1: Ed, I want to come back to parent involvement again shortly.
[13:25] Speaker 1: I think the outline that fairly clearly, but I just
[13:27] Speaker 1: want to really get into that for one final question.
[13:31] Speaker 1: But before we get there, there will be some people
[13:33] Speaker 1: who will listening to this podcast. They'll go and look
[13:35] Speaker 1: up ed Shure, they'll have a look at the organization
[13:36] Speaker 1: that you represent. Your association has a clear position on
[13:40] Speaker 1: these cultural issues. How would you respond? And I'm sure
[13:43] Speaker 1: that I'll get email us about this, So let me
[13:46] Speaker 1: ask you the question straight up. How would you respond
[13:48] Speaker 1: to people who would say that this is a political campaign,
[13:52] Speaker 1: this is about conservative activism rather than child protection concerns.
[13:58] Speaker 1: People will say, well, and should know about wet dreams.
[14:01] Speaker 1: Children probably should know about how our bodies work. And
[14:05] Speaker 1: we certainly know that there's good evidence that teaching children
[14:09] Speaker 1: about protective body safety is in their interests. Consent education
[14:16] Speaker 1: has strong empirical evidence behind it.
[14:19] Speaker 2: I would say, go look at the content that I'm
[14:21] Speaker 2: referring to and come back to me if you think
[14:23] Speaker 2: that that's acceptable. I don't know. When you around my
[14:26] Speaker 2: children and to pick them up on one thing. These
[14:28] Speaker 2: are my strong views. Our teachers are not necessarily aligned
[14:32] Speaker 2: with any political party. Our organization is not aligned with
[14:34] Speaker 2: any political party. But overwhelmingly, we're shedding a light on
[14:38] Speaker 2: something that is certainly struck a nerve with parents across
[14:41] Speaker 2: the country. It has with so many of our members
[14:43] Speaker 2: as well, And we're taking a clear stance on this
[14:47] Speaker 2: because it requires some moral clarity because at the moment,
[14:50] Speaker 2: you haven't got any mainstream news reporting on this. You
[14:52] Speaker 2: haven't got any government ministers and ps talking about this.
[14:55] Speaker 2: So someone's going to have to do it. And if
[14:57] Speaker 2: we're going to get accused of being political in some
[14:59] Speaker 2: way protecting children, then I guess bringing on who cares?
[15:02] Speaker 2: Who cares? This is the stuff that's being shown to children.
[15:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, and it feels like it's been swept under the rug.
[15:07] Speaker 1: I don't really have a strong political orientation ed, but
[15:11] Speaker 1: when I discovered what was going on here, I just
[15:14] Speaker 1: felt like we needed to talk about to make sure
[15:15] Speaker 1: that parents knew. So you've highlighted that parents need to
[15:19] Speaker 1: be engaged and talking with their principal and their school
[15:24] Speaker 1: about this. I guess the last thing that I want
[15:27] Speaker 1: to know is how do you do that effectively? If
[15:29] Speaker 1: there's a parent who's worried listening right now and they
[15:33] Speaker 1: want to engage with the school, how do they do
[15:35] Speaker 1: it in such a way that they don't go to
[15:37] Speaker 1: war with the principle over this, especially since you said
[15:40] Speaker 1: many school leaders hands are tied on this, so creating
[15:44] Speaker 1: a war over this is not necessarily going to be
[15:46] Speaker 1: helpful for families or for schools.
[15:48] Speaker 2: You've got to speak to the principle very politely, very inquisitively,
[15:51] Speaker 2: because the principle in many cases won't necessarily be across
[15:55] Speaker 2: the content that's being taught that they'll be across. Okay,
[15:57] Speaker 2: we've engaged this organization, they've been doing this for a while.
[16:00] Speaker 2: Oh well, the principle is not going through all the
[16:02] Speaker 2: content as well. So don't go into them necessarily, you know,
[16:06] Speaker 2: chastising them, but go in demanding answers and get them
[16:08] Speaker 2: to find those answers if they don't have them. The
[16:11] Speaker 2: second prong is going to your state based education ministry
[16:14] Speaker 2: and saying, hey, are you okay with this sort of
[16:16] Speaker 2: stuff being taught in schools. And I know a lot
[16:18] Speaker 2: of the funding comes from state health departments rather than
[16:22] Speaker 2: the education, but it's input into schools. But the education
[16:25] Speaker 2: the education minister has a lot of say in this matter,
[16:28] Speaker 2: and at the moment they're completely silent. I dare say,
[16:30] Speaker 2: they don't even know the extent of it. So we're
[16:33] Speaker 2: really starting a ground zero here. It's the start of
[16:35] Speaker 2: a bigger exposure of what's happening in the education system
[16:38] Speaker 2: across the board. So parents, you know, have patients with
[16:42] Speaker 2: your principal in the first instance, Yes, demand the answers
[16:45] Speaker 2: they If they come back and say, yeah, that's what
[16:47] Speaker 2: we're teaching and we stand by it, well, then start
[16:50] Speaker 2: making a bit more noise. But go to the principal
[16:52] Speaker 2: at first, I dare say, he or she'll want to
[16:54] Speaker 2: work with you in sorting this out. So to the
[16:56] Speaker 2: education minister, send through your emails center and copies of them,
[17:00] Speaker 2: MA that your kid is being provided. Make sure, first
[17:03] Speaker 2: and foremost, make sure that your child, if they're being
[17:05] Speaker 2: given material for sex ed, make sure they're bringing it
[17:08] Speaker 2: back home so you know at least what they're being taught.
[17:10] Speaker 2: I feel like that's parenting one oh one over to
[17:12] Speaker 2: you on that, Justin, but definitely have to be across
[17:15] Speaker 2: what is being taught to your children. So look, it's
[17:18] Speaker 2: early days. I'm not going to profess to have all
[17:19] Speaker 2: the answers right now. At the very least. What we're
[17:22] Speaker 2: trying to get here is exposure of the issue. So
[17:26] Speaker 2: please just make sure that your child, your individual child,
[17:29] Speaker 2: is not being impacted by this stuff.
[17:31] Speaker 1: Yeah, not our normal Friday content, but a really important conversation.
[17:35] Speaker 1: It ties in with the respect for relationships content that's
[17:38] Speaker 1: being taught in Victoria and state schools, with gender ideology
[17:40] Speaker 1: being taught from the earliest years, and I think that
[17:44] Speaker 1: it's one of those things where parents, I know, we've
[17:45] Speaker 1: got so much to worry about, but just one more
[17:47] Speaker 1: thing to add to the list, and a pretty important
[17:50] Speaker 1: one of that. Ed Shula, Secretary of the Teacher's Professional
[17:53] Speaker 1: Association of Queensland and the National Secretary of its parent body,
[17:56] Speaker 1: the TPAA, really appreciate your time for such an important conversation.
[18:02] Speaker 2: No, thank you, Justin.
