#ICYMI: The government’s new sex education videos for students - using milkshakes and tacos - have been slammed for trivialising a serious issue.

"This video is so problematic in so many ways. It is just insulting to the

intelligence of everyone." - @TamePunk. #TheDrum https://t.co/qYUnZYG7CC

I’ll stop after this thread, but im scrolling twitter and keep coming across stuff. It is so refreshing to have someone who speaks clearly and without spin. I hope she’s holding up ok with all the publicity around this tough topic, and I hope we keep seeing more of her.

Yes, yes she is.

She’s amazing. Twitter is roasting “the milkshake video”. I’m not sure I can bring myself to watch it given they’ve apparently made the female the perpetrator for fucks sake.

They played bits of it on the ABC yesterday and it’s really weird and confusing.

I can understand the challenges in trying to make this kind of content for school students, there are a lot of things that you couldn’t depict in a classroom because a certain segment of the class just wouldn’t be ready for it and for others it might actually be triggering. But these were really dreadful and I don’t think they achieve their aim, which is clearly to simplify complex ideas about consent.

Are they trying to copy the ‘tea’ one? I really like the tea one but I’m guessing they’ve really cocked it up? It sounds awful.

Chookas I’d imagine that was the starting point but the language used was slightly different again and it actually made the overall message less clear and relevant.

I actually couldn’t watch the whole thing - it is that bad.

$3.8 Million is what that cost us.

Who reaped that generous reward I wonder, any ties to the LNP?

I think the odds of this are very good.
