I know a lady who runs a small business.

She was approached by somebody from Countrywide Media asking her to take out a paid ad in a publication called “Street Smarthandbook: the essential guide into adulthood”, published with the blessing of the Police.

How could she refuse such a good cause?

A policeman in charge of NSW “Blue Light” activities writes in the foreword of the handbook that it is “a worthwhile resource” . . . “valuable” . . . “accurate and responsible” . . . and (wait for it) “useful”.

Some things in the handbook are, indeed, OK.

There’s good stuff about how not to be swindled when buying a car . . . .

Anyway, the lady to whom I refer is NEVER going to advertise in the thing in future.

Nobody told her that her ad would be in a handbook recommending to young people totally amoral standards of behaviour.

Discussing the question, “Am I ready to have sex?” it says “a good rule is, if you don’t feel comfortable with the activity or behaviour, you’re probably not ready”.

The implication being, that if it feels good, you should do it.

Its list of “forms of sex that protect you” includes “anal sex” and “oral sex”.

On the “Contact Info” page, under “Sexual Health”, young people are given contact details for the “Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service of NSW” and for “Twenty-10 Gay and Lesbian Youth and Family Support” — the latter having a special contact number for enquirers aged under 18.

Under “Sexual Health” the handbook also gives contact details of the world’s biggest provider of abortions. Who? Yes, the notorious and disgusting Marie Stopes International.

And young readers are informed that they have the right to proceed, without the consent of parents, to get aborted.

If so, best take your child out of the school.
