Interview – 702 ABC Sydney Drive – Richard Glover

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Richard Glover: Well, the much discussed report into the Safe Schools program is in. The one the Government commissioned, Mr Turnbull commissioned, from the Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Western Australia, Professor Bill Louden. It’s been published now. And it does defend the program, very stoutly. It says it’s a great program,…

Interview – FiveAA Adelaide Afternoons – Jeremy Cordeaux

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Jeremy Cordeaux: Now this story’s kind of occupied a fair amount of time and controversy and discussion and debate. That’s this Safe Schools initiative, which costs money, millions of dollars, so controversial I think the Coalition decided that they would bring in Professor Bill Louden, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Western Australia to review it.…

Interview – Sky News – Laura Jayes

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Interview – 4BC – Ben Davis

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Ben Davis: Look, there has been plenty of talk today too, and not just today but over the last few weeks about the Safe Schools programme. You know my views on it. I think it- and especially on a day when we’re talking about anti-bullying and anti-violence; it’s what our kids have been hearing about…

Interview – 774 ABC Melbourne Drive – Rafael Epstein

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Rafael Epstein: There are some central units in the Safe Schools program, the ones that have gone use terms like this: defining sexual diversity on a continuum, and recognising that same sex attracted people do not fit into stereotypes. Essentially the lesson on hetero-normative behaviour is gone as well. Senator Simon Birmingham has been this…

Interview – Sky News Live – David Speers

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

David Speers: As we saw on Friday after the COAG Leaders’ Meeting, the Prime Minister withdrew his policy proposal to allow the states to raise their own income taxes. What’s been left unresolved, though, is where the Government now wants to go on education funding in particular. Public schools: does it want to continue playing…

Interview – RN Drive – Patricia Karvelas

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Patricia Karvelas: This afternoon the Federal Government has delivered it’s response to the review of the Safe Schools anti-homophobia program. It seems to have appeased conservative Coalition critics of the program but is being labelled a back down by others. Senator Simon Birmingham is the Federal Education Minister, thanks for your time, and also for staying…

Interview – ABC 774 – Rafael Epstein

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016

Rafael Epstein: The Prime Minister wants to give the states more responsibility for raising the money that they spend. It would mean a state-based income tax. It could mean the Federal Government no longer funds public schools in Victoria. That’s something the Prime Minister’s speaking about. Would you be happy with the Federal Government handing…

Interview – 2GB – Ben Fordham

Interview TranscriptsBy Senator Simon Birmingham5 April, 2016
