New national education materials designed to teach school-aged children about consent, using examples related to tacos, milkshakes and going for a swim, are slammed by campaigners for 'trivialising a serious issue'.

End Rape on Campus Australia founder Sharna Bremner said the material was littered with problems.

"But we know students in these particular aged groups are quite capable of discussing sex and consent in real terms, they do not need videos about milkshakes and tacos."These aren't videos that speak to any of the serious issues we need people to be discussing." They said teachers and the community were consulted about the content, but that the department would continue to "update and refine content" as required.Sexual assault prevention educator Karen Wills said the campaign would not work.

"This is a moment in Australian history where people are crying out for better consent education for our young people and across our community," Ms Plibersek said.

Maybe someone should remake the video but where government keeps moving the line on eroding human rights. No jab no play, Flu shots to enter aged care, NRL, QLD AMA suggesting law changes to let employers access vax records, no jab no pay, vaccine passports, mandatory vaccines 💁‍♂️

Its made by Mormons in Utah and redubbed with Australian voices. Its clearly American milkshake culture with pinball machines, peanut butter milkshake on the menu, token black people in the background, tacos etc. Even the money in the briefcase in the taco one is USD!!! $3.8m wtf

And sharks! Don't forget the sharks!

Not sure what's worse: the videos or the omni-offended mob...

The money would have been better spend on classroom security cameras to protect children in schools. Ex-Hobart teacher jailed Over a period spanning months, he would kiss and touch her in the school's photography room up to two-or-three times a week.

I’m really angry about this ad. The whole thing should be pulled immediately. Liquid interactive have to take a good hard look at themselves. This ad is not directed at the correct audience segment, it’s not evidence based and it’s not educational.

As laughable as the new designs on our currency

Only got halfway through. That was drivel

Yet another aspect in this absolute fractal of abominations is: MY BODY IS NOT A DAMN TACO. How DARE they!!! That insinuation alone is so DISGUSTING on SO many levels that I don't even know where to begin. milkshakevideo Milkshake auspol2021 march4justice

🎶My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard And they're like, it's better than yours...🎶

I have absolutely no doubt that if they had asked year 10-12 students to create a consent video they would have produced an age & culturally relevant video that would tear the Govt's video a new one ... I'm enraged 🤬 at the stupidity & the money wasted milkshakevideo auspoI

Yes and we all live happily ever after what a joke

Very sexual: this training vid is clearly about cunnilingus, I think young women with agency should be encouraged to be more aggressive, make it culturally accessible to cream pie young men.

Who is the minister for milkshakes?

At first I thought chaser had an off day. They can’t be perfect every day. But no. This is tax payer funding of parody of a serious subject. Wrong on SO many levels scottyfromarketing milkshakevideo Milkshake

Very sexual: this training vid is clearly about cunnilingus, I think young boys should be given permission to pleasure women.

& why are they dressed like it’s the 70s ?

Bloody stupid and childish

Australia is becoming a laughable country , we can't even explain consent properly we can't deal with climate change properly we can't deal with vaccines properly we can't even deal with the basics of government properly we are a laughing stock milkshakevideo Milkshake auspol

And probably expensive

Whoever came up with this concept obviously giggles at 'rude words' still

I think this might be the parliamentary in house video designed to show Young Liberals how not to behave.

Oh god this is so creepy.

To borrow a statement from Calculon:

WTAF? Seriously this is BS It makes no sense to me at all, and I had forewarning of what it was trying to achieve. How much did Australian taxpayers pay for this crap?

The terminology is pretentious and the acting is terrible. The message is lost in the mediocrity.

I’d be horrified if this was how my kids were taught consent. The language is clumsy, metaphors too abstract and the whole ad too contrived. I’m glad I’ve had far more direct (yet still age appropriate) conversations about consent with my kids from the time they were little.

What a waste of tax payers dollars

I’m sorry when did oz turn into a weird communist country?

Must be the same guy who developed CovidSafe app.

The milkshake video is beyond confusing & concerning & instead extremely offensive bc: - it's an utter waste of our hard-earned taxe$. Want to who got paid for this! - failed to address core objective of bringing clarity abt consent, instead, imho trivialises brutality of rape!

Mmm.. milkshakes and tacos? That’s a good combo

Whats with the young guy in the grey wig beside the pin ball machine. This is just weird

Waste of money making this. I switched off before half way.

Portrays the woman as the abuser, it is disgusting

In all seriousness, this is a ridiculous comparison to rape and sexual assault and a pathetic and an inappropriate attempt to push what is known as restorative practices. Restorative practices are not such a bad thing but this is not educating anyone about sexual assault

It's fricking weird.

More ridiculous decision making aimed at 'education' Why can't they get it right!

secomb_michael What was the budget for this crap?

Are there enough words to describe how bad this is, I feel like I need a very hot long shower to wash away how disgusting I feel after seeing this 🤢🤢

Some agency is not going to admit to that.

I’m enraged at how they have mocked consent. This is a disgusting spoof

Hillsong.

What the....

What a disaster!

Nah it’s because a women was shown being bad for once and the inter sectional feminists lost their collective unborn children at once

And how many times do I have to say no before I get the milkshake, taco and desert meal deal?

AnimaeOK If I’m offered a taco and a milkshake am I being hit on?

Concerning ‘cos it’s like something out of the 1960’s! If you want teenagers & young adults to listen, that isn’t going to cut it!

I find the milkshake video very disturbing

PATHETIC!!! How many million did that cost us?!?!?! PLEASE SIGN & SHARE -

MelTankardReist sounds like it was narrated by the baby Stewie out of family guy

MelTankardReist here we have a list of *males* that have abused, raped, assaulted women even in parliament house.. and how does this respond? a FEMALE perpetrator on a male in a milk bar. and we expect young males to get this? consentfail

MilkshakeConsentVideo is not just embarrassing. It’s scary. Are these idiots really in charge? We’re doomed!

Seems unnecessarily complex

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

WTF is this? Who is the grandpa voice over? Seriously misses the mark. Be direct and don't use metaphors.

Hahaha that’s the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a while. Good luck getting the point across and good luck getting the kids to take this seriously..

Deceptively evil. NB: the girl is the aggressor. Gobsmaked

What even is this absolute garbage

So glad I’m married. My milkshake brought the taco to my yard.

I've stopped taking the Morrison government seriously, and presume in his perverse way, that's precisely want Scotty wants.

Who wrote the script ? Misses the point totally.

I've lost count how many lines this government have crossed, felt like they are throwing a whole bucket of milkshake all over every Australian. I'm still waiting for their apology.

MaralynParker show me a teenager who knows what a fucking pinball machine is. Key words are consent, rape, sex and while we demonise those words we are part of the problem, why not honest, upfront, real life situations, decisions and conversations?

Stop the press. ABC slams the Federal government.

Who created & who authorized release, of this garbage?

No boiled sweets?

Unbelievable that whoever made this thought it was ok.

I am not confused, Scott Morrison is a marketing dick. And when making a marketing campaign about consent. He would avoid the confusion, and focus the campaign on his dick..🍆🍆!!

It’s appalling. Cheesy...and actually quite creepy. Cringeworthy drivel. ALL associated with it should be sacked. A bunch of rank amateurs 🤦‍♂️

It’s too abstract & jargon filled. Education needs to be specific & concrete. Talk about development, relationships, intimacy, sex, consent, rejection. The videos are a complete waste of money. Bet no processionals were actually consulted eg teachers, lawyers, psychologists...

Confusing and concerning? It’s been made by men who still refuse to accept violence against women is a real issue

I’ve got a feeling they could have implemented this into Safe Schools, which would do a much better job teaching students about consent, if it still existed.

An appalling mess. The creators should be sued for incompetence

How much of my tax paying money was wasted on this? I might have to stop paying taxes as this government is just blatantly wasting it on CRAP.

That is a hot mess inside a trainwreck

They’re that tone deaf that they made the man the victim.

It’s more like a comedy act sending up the add. It’s cringe worthy and an insult to the intelligence to all teenagers. Oh yes and the girl is made to be the aggressor. Pretty much sums what the Morrison government thinks about women.

They have no fucking idea.

Whoever made puerile drivel just totally fucked my brain...Without my consent!!

Ohhh cmon, Makes perfect sense to fill the taco with milkshake🤔🤔 wait My mistake The milkshake is actually PRIDE inclusive (I watched the village people)= Tick Taco= INCLUSIVE of Mexicans Yep, makes sense

Would even be a stupid type of ad aimed at pre-schoolers who take other's stuff without permission, and the kids would only roar with laughter at the ice cream in the face. Never heard of 'The Good Society so which Mates Rates recipient got $millions for that?

I teach primary school and our kids would rip this to shreds.

Shouldn't be left up to the government. Respect starts and is taught at home. This is a failure of parenting skills.

The problem is, women want consent to mean whatever they want it to mean. And for today's consent to be revoked retrospectively, if they choose. Good luck teaching that!

Patronising, infantilising and just fucking insulting.

What an absolute joke. They've made the girl into the aggressor and the male is the victim. That seems to be how ScottyTheMisogynist sees himself. Who made this ad anyway? Someone from Hillsong who hasn't got a clue? Teens wouldn't watch this crap.

Don't understand it at all. Misses the point

What do you expect from a government led by a fundy christian happy clapper? Typical christian based claptrap nonsense from clueless conservatives who just want to look progressive while stifling real conversation.

The headline may be one of the years greatest understatements!

Goodness - this is so bad.

stand by for the pisstakes on TikTok. Kids will tear this to shreds, and deservedly so, it's pathetic.

Ask a kid-teenager what the machine is in the background. Bet they won't even know. 1950s style & pop cultural references will go waaaay over their heads. Its a ridiculous attempt & should be binned.

,,, and simply dreadful. It looks like they asked a pentecostsl youth group to create and act in it.

Another failed ScomoPromo What number are we up to now? ScottMorrisonMP auspol The_Nationals auspol2021 VoteThemOut

So 1950’s and I was there 🤬🤬

I didn't get past the common assault. Came from the bowels of the holy roller movement. This is the mentality running the country!

I got all the way to 09:00 seconds 'the action zone' Its about there I think something died inside of me

Am I surprised that: - the LNP have wasted our money? - have no concept of consent? - can't use the word SEX in an ad about consensual SEX? - use a female as an example of not understanding consent? NO. THEY ARE USELESS AT FINANCE, TARGETED COMMUNICATION & FYI VACCINES.

Wtf where’s the tacos 🌮? It was all milkshakes and pizza 🍕.

Scummo school of marketing? This is awful.

Hang on❗️Tugger Tudge is looking after this kids’ consent thing❓How unbelievably inapprooriate❗️Tudge, a married man, had the illicit affair with his hot-looking, red dressed subordinate, a married woman, then had her ‘transferred’ didn’t he❓

No means no too hard?

So how much did we pay one of their mates for this?

A few loopy retarded lefties is not ‘slammed’. Besides can’t you fix it with some deceptive editing?

What a load of bunkum!

Wow. Who would have thought a government as inept as the current circus could miss the mark yet again. Amazing.

It’s fucking embarrassing LiberalAus

Can't wait for the GruenHQ and thejuicemedia takes on this!

This was produced by someone who grew up on Fonzi...

Consent. It's already been done well.

I was expecting Biff and McFly to walk in at any moment

Stop treating school children like they were dumb as rocks LNP politicians ...

Looking forward to the Scott Morrison using a bag of jellybeans to explain racism Milkshake consent

This is a bad day for people with a ‘rubbing a milkshake on their partner’s face’ fetish Milkshake

Who gave the okay for this ? Crazy from the Morrison Government

Wearing Cotton Gloves and Masks can beat COVID-19 in two weeks. Health Experts don’t know the science on this but I know, physics measures are far better than vaccines. In May 2020, I swore that I'd like to accept the most severe penalties including death if my idea doesn't work.

States slap new rules on Victorian travellers after shock new local caseStates and territories have been quick to hit Victorian travellers with new requirements after a shock new case of COVID-19 was recorded. madness Let's claw back those unnecessary tax payer funded executive bonuses and incentivise the quarantine workers for successfully managing hotel quarantine. Time to rename Hotel Quarantine to Hotel Infection Sites. People go in clear of Covid and come out infected. So much for these abominations protecting the people.
