This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a recently published article on the Archdiocese of Hobart's website, Gerard Gaskin took issue with mandatory consent education programs.
"Consent is proposed as the only standard we should use to judge whether a sexual act is right or wrong, legal or illegal," Dr Gaskin wrote.
Dr Gaskin wrote that "age appropriate or not … according to Federal curriculum requirements, children are to be taught that any form of sexual activity is OK provided both persons give consent".
"Yet, the federal and state governments appear to have decided that such highly sensitive, amoral and potentially harmful information must now be provided by teachers and that it must start in the first years of schooling.
After more than 200 people responded with "yes" in just 24 hours, Ms Contos launched an online petition calling for more holistic and earlier consent education in Australia.
The Queensland government announced in October last year that it had revamped the way respectful relationships and sexual consent is taught in schools.
The original article contains 641 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
