Episode description

In the middle of a growing national conversation about sexual harassment and consent, the federal government launched a campaign on respectful relationships for young people. 

The campaign was widely criticised by experts and advocates, including former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, who say it ignores their advice and research.

They’re also concerned that it seems to have replaced another more evidence-based and expertly produced campaign, which was shut down 18 months ago. 

Today, journalist for The Saturday Paper Kristine Ziwica on the question of whether the government's social conservatism is influencing sex education for young people. 


Guest: Journalist for The Saturday Paper Kristine Ziwica.
