Parents urged against ‘culture of safety-ism’

Liberal MP Jason Falinski says the government made it very clear from the outbreak of the coronavirus that “we don’t want anyone’s education impacted throughout this virus anymore than it needs to be”. He said the government’s message was clear that parents should send their children back to school and health authorities were not supporting Victoria’s decision to remain online. “Yes there is some risk but its an incredibly low risk,” Mr Falinski told Sky News. “This is the problem throughout the western world at the moment, we have this culture of safety-ism where people expect you to be able to say no one under any circumstances will ever get harmed. “The health advice has been very clear from day one that the best place for students to be is at school.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
