Anasina GRAY-BARBERIO (Northern Metropolitan) (18:47): (2788) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Education, and the action I seek is for the government to make comprehensive education on domestic, family and sexual violence mandatory for students in years 10 to 12. Not too long ago 13-year-old Layla Jeffery was killed in regional Victoria. A 16-year-old boy has been charged with her murder. Layla should have had decades of life ahead of her. Her family and community should not be mourning the loss of a child. We cannot talk about violence against women and girls only after another life has been lost. We have to talk about what we teach young people about violence, power, coercion, pornography, consent and healthy relationships before that violence occurs. Victoria has rightly led the country in Respectful Relationships education. It is an important foundation and I do not suggest we abandon it, but we need to be honest about the gaps. The petition I am sponsoring, brought to this Parliament by What Were You Wearing Australia, calls for mandatory domestic, family and sexual violence education for years 10 to 12 students. It specifically calls for students to learn about coercive control and abuse; sexual violence beyond consent, including pressure, coercion and peer abuse; and practical information about seeking help, supporting friends and accessing services. That is the education our young people deserve. If a young person cannot name coercion, manipulation or abuse, how can we expect them to recognise it? If they do not know what sexual violence looks like, how can they know when something is wrong? And if they are experiencing abuse themselves, we need them to know where they can turn. Senator Larissa Waters has rightly argued that young people are increasingly exposed to violent and degrading pornography while they should instead be learning about respect, intimacy, consent and healthy relationships from trusted adults and schools. This is not about blaming young people; it is about giving them the tools to navigate a world that is already teaching them, often through pornography and social media.
