Michael McLaren

Earlier this week, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten left the door open for a potential revival of the controversial Safe Schools Program, refusing to rule out a reintroduction of the scheme. 

The suggestion comes as the program reaches near saturation levels in Victoria, with Deputy Premier James Merlino  revealing 98% of  Victorian high schools have adopted the curriculum.

Australian Conservative’s leader Cory Bernardi is critical on both fronts.
