In a speech to a church in August, ACL spokesperson Jasmine Yuen said that the Liberal Party would remove the Respectful Relationships program as part of a review of the Victorian curriculum.

Um... A review generally comes before the decision to change things comes. Sounds like the 'review' is a furphy to ram in what they've decided to impose.

Anybody in Victoria remember this SRI program? I never had something like that at my school in WA.

If the conservatives expect to sweep into power on a tidal wave, it’s in their interests to claim the most radical mandate they can before the election.

    Had something like this in WA in the early 1970s.

    Was taken out of class to do religious study along with a couple of other kids in grades 1 - 3.

    I hated it. I would much rather have been back in class.

    There is no way that re-introducing this into school anywhere in Australia is a good thing.
