Paul Brennan speaks with Family First's Bob McCoskrie about New Zealand's newly released draft curriculum for Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), currently open for public consultation. McCoskrie expresses strong concerns over what he sees as a “soft launch” with limited public visibility, questioning the Ministry of Education’s transparency. While he acknowledges some positives—such as retaining parental rights to withdraw children from sexuality education and age-appropriate mentions of biological sex—he flags major red concerns, particularly the introduction of sexual health topics to 13–15 year olds, the lack of emphasis on abstinence, and the potential for what he considers ideological indoctrination. He urges parents to review the curriculum closely, provide feedback before 9 May, and assert their role in guiding their children’s learning.
