Teddy Time for Year 7 - 10 Tasmanian Students
Tasmania’s education department in its Respectful Relations and Consent year 7 - 10 booklet, released in 2024, contains resources and links written by Teddy Cook. The booklet which is primarily authored by a DECYP consultant (who would appear to have no tertiary qualifications in sociology or psychology) Respectful Relations and Consent is a booklet which hides within it, embedded links to explicit websites and inappropriate classroom activities which parents perusing the hard copy of the resource will never see, unless they can navigate to the online version of the text, which is difficult to find on DECYP’s website.
Who is Teddy Cook?
Teddy Cook is a woman who has written resources used by the Tasmanian Education Department. Teddy has recently been reported as promoting on her social media accounts bestiality, bondage and drug taking.
Teddy has no relevant tertiary educational or medical qualifications. Nor is she of good character to be employed to write such material for any government body. Teddy’s qualification is ‘lived experience’ and past advisory roles.
As Tasmanian students are directed to explore Teddy’s website The Line, (as an activity in DECYP’s Respectful Relationships booklet) they notice there are a variety of tabs for them to go to beyond those about consent, enabling them to freely explore porn facts and even a porn quiz. The Line never mentions once in its website that watching porn is illegal in Tasmania for those under 18. Instead Tasmanian teachers hand out the link to the site where year 7-10 students can explore not only the ‘facts’ about porn but also ‘how much they know about’ porn, but will also inevitably stumble across the following tabs for them to access, read and share: research for students further reading 
Given year 9 students are as young as 14, this material is overtly explicit and breaks down privacy and consent boundaries in the classroom. In Tasmania, viewing porn under the age of 18 is illegal.

Recently the Daily Mail recorded Teddy's on line postings about herself -
Teddy is an extreme queer theorist, and has recently been questioned about her suitability to sit on a World Health Organisation W.H.O panel to draft their policy for 'trans health care'.
Tasmanian parents are unaware that Teddy’s website The Line , together with the writings from Latrobe University think tank around ,Social Theory in Australian Public School Health Education, inspires much of what is in DECYP’s new resource, which is ironically about consent but deceptively breaks down barriers around common decency and consent, without parental knowledge.
No parent would consent to an activity such as the one described in the Tasmanian Education Department’s resource, which is a ‘sexual consent relay’ being performed in the classroom with year 9 students, as it is set out. Noticeably, this activity like others is not visible in the hard copy booklet, but only viewable via an online link on page 74 of Tasmania's new resource:
What's for dinner? - Sex as objectification and transaction.
How schools bring their values to the table
Teachers are then instructed to use an absurd and inappropriate dinner metaphor as an activity, to teach consent skills during sexual exploration . The activity begins by having teachers read out the following transcript as an introduction to the activity which sets the agenda and brings down students boundaries. This activity is completely inappropriate in a school setting, as it would be in a work setting with adults. It’s unethical and malfeasance to set up the following teaching activity for 14 year old school students. Vicarious role plays, between randomly assigned male and female students to negotiate sexual consent is a breech of a teachers code of conduct..These activities are grooming.
'Tell students to form pairs...'

Nature Vs Nurture : DECYP’s 2D pedagogy deems nurture has won
There are biological drivers of behaviour , differing between sexes, yet this text educates students to see no behaviours linked to biology and gives no evidence or reference to substantiate all are as it puts forward nurture based.
On page 63, DECYP’s text does not allow nuance or a balanced discussion about how sex based differences in hormones, physical strength, menstruation, breastfeeding and women being able to become pregnant, is inextricably linked to behavioural differences between men and women: differences which can be seen consistently outworked cross- culturally.
Latrobe University and the writings of Ros Ward: the impact on Australian School Curriculums
Over a decade ago academic Ros Ward composed Australia’s first ‘Safe Schools’ curriculum which has morphed into many iterations since then, one being Tasmania’s new Respectful Relations documents
,Social Theory in Australian Public School Health Education.Chapter 20: Destroying the Family and Civilization: Marxism, Safe Schools and Sexuality Education Roz Ward
To admit this is not to say ‘biology is destiny’ but to deny its implications is surely gaslighting our students about their lived experience, particularly those from working class and culturally diverse backgrounds. Students currently are not allowed to question how men and women are different physically and sexually to each other and how this may predispose them to certain behaviours. This heresy can be tested in any teacher professional learning session despite one underscoring we are not talking about intelligence or competency.
What is occurring instead by way of this DECYP document is the ongoing suppression of female experience of the world, in the name of social justice and the unspoken binary eradication warfare going on. Girls are being asked to conform to a gender-less, academic thought- bubble about how to think about themselves, where the sexed body has no implications.
Yet they know that it does.
