An online petition detailing thousands of graphic incidents of sexual assault and rape against high school students has ballooned, with at least 50 Victorian private
, Catholic and public schools now mentioned.
The petition launched a fortnight ago by former Sydney schoolgirl Chanel Contos is gaining momentum, with schools and state governments now being forced to address the distressing accounts of assault.
By Wednesday night, Ms Contosâ website, teachusconsent.com, had amassed more than 2900 anonymised testimonies by former and current high school students â overwhelmingly girls and women â across the country.
Follow six young people in Year Nine at exclusive boarding school Geelong Grammar in Victoria as they are reprogrammed according to leading US psychologist Martin Seligman's philosophy of Positive Education. This bold experiment embraces a defined set of practices, actions, beliefs and experiences, which the school believes will transform beleaguered teens into positive young people making good choices. Will this brave experiment show us a way forward, not just for Australia, but for the wider world, to help future generations of teenagers grow up to become happier, more resilient and compassionate human beings?

While Porter parties, his protection racket inflicts misery
As Alan Tudge tried to protect Christian Porter from embarrassment, so Porter is trying to protect Alexander Downer from scrutiny over his role in the bugging of Timor-Leste.
Privilege protects privilege.
So it seems after further revelations today about how Alan Tudge pressured an ABC journalist to delete a photo taken in a Canberra night spot that, according to Four Corners’ bombshell report on Monday, would have embarrassed and compromised Christian Porter.
Any minister of the Crown learning that a colleague may have placed themselves in a position to be compromised should have immediately alerted the prime minister, possibly for referral to intelligence agencies. Public Bar in Manuka is a well-known locale for politicians, staffers and journalists, the latest in a succession of such nightspots in Canberra.
