CONSENT FILMS AXED

-

TWO educationa­l videos aimed at teaching youngsters about sexual consent have been removed by the federal government just 24 hours after their launch following widespread criticism.

The videos published on The Good Society website were ridiculed by experts for trivialisi­ng conversati­ons around consent and using confusing euphemisms like milkshakes and tacos instead of medical and biological terminolog­y.

Department of Education secretary Dr Michele Bruniges said the federal government had removed the videos following “community and stakeholde­r” feedback.
