Australian politician Mark Latham, the leader of the New South Wales (NSW) state branch of the right-leaning One Nation party, has raised concerns about the increasing presence of “left-wing politics and woke concepts” being taught in schools, including on transgender topics, which he said amounts to “child abuse.”

“There’s a lot of left-wing politics and woke concepts that have snuck into our schools, and parents should have a right to say, ‘well, that’s unacceptable, and legally, I’m taking my child out of that class,’” Latham told The Epoch Times.
