So what has been the response?

Steph Hodgins-May:

This is a sector-backed plan and we’re proud to stand with The Parenthood and other organisations who are calling for this to be initiated as a matter of urgency. We wrote to the Prime Minister several weeks ago now and, unfortunately, haven’t yet heard back.

We’re urging the Education Minister, the Prime Minister, to put politics to the side and to sit down with advocates, to sit down with the Greens, and work constructively towards a way to keep our children safe. Because, frankly, if we’re not in here to do that, it’s the most important job we’ve possibly got – what are we doing?
