An Australian senator has accused Australia’s national broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), of “grooming children” in a fiery Senate estimates hearing.
During the Senate estimates on Tuesday, South Australian Liberal senator Alex Antic brought up a recent episode of ABC’s Play School Story Time which was read by a well-known Australian drag queen, Courtney Act.
Play School Story Time is a popular long-running show for Australian children which features celebrities reading stories on the show’s Story Time couch.
The episode, which had a G-rating, showed Act reading the book The Spectacular Suit, where a girl wanted to wear a suit for her birthday instead of a dress.
