You know, there's emphasis on politicians, like I mentioned before, but I have a team.

My personal and professional credibility would be questioned, of course.

But at least I have an army of people around me to protect and support.

I couldn't imagine being a 15-year-old girl in...

a toilet in some rural secondary school, bawling their eyes out, wondering, like, how do I roll this back?

It's so violent.

And how do I tell mum and dad that this is not true?

They're going to believe it's true.

How do I tell a teacher?

Because they're going to believe it's true.

And then there's a group of young men who perhaps do not understand the extent of gender based violence they ensued.

On top of which, we've been doing a lot of work around extension of deep fakes, but abuse online.

Kids as young as 10 have access to pornography in this country.

And the issue is they're seeing it.

It's credible to them.

In the first intimate, second intimate relationship of their life, they're experiencing sexual violence or they're

creating sexual violence towards a young girl.

And she thinks this is normal.

Girls think it's normal because they're seeing it.

Boys think it's normal because they're seeing it.
