I'm really worried about it because we, you know, your question earlier about are we putting enough resources in, we'll never be putting enough resources in if we're growing a new generation of people who use violence.

Is that what you'll be consulting on?

There's a lot of really bad stuff happening on the online world, so that's why we've raised the age to 16, where you can have your social media, and it's why we've got an age verification for pornography now.

I know a lot of people don't like that.

They think it's such an intrusion on their civil liberties.

We are seeing kids who are 10 years old watching pornography that involves choking before they've had their first kiss.

And we need to be really explicit in addressing this with young people.

We need to be much more explicit in our respectful relationships and sex education talks.

Like, you know, the spermatozer goes to the egg and the imprint.

That's all.

Kids know that.

That's not complicated.

What they don't understand is consent.

or pleasure or desire or negotiation.

And while ever we think adults think that we're protecting kids because we don't talk to them about sex, we are missing the opportunity of setting healthy norms for them.

I feel it extraordinarily.

I remember, you know, I remember so many of the victims that I've heard about over the years.

I've met so many of their family members and I know how missed they are.

And I also, you know, I meet so many people who've been victims of violence and I

see and hear from them the impact that it's had on them long term, in many cases how they felt they might be the next homicide statistic.
