Two complaints have been lodged against Victorian schools who are being accused of bringing politics around the Voice to Parliament referendum into classrooms. One of the matters raised with Senator Sarah Henderson prompted the Liberal member to request an address with students about her support for the 'No' campaign. Sandringham MP Brad Rowswell sent a letter to Vic Education Minister Natalie Hutchins which included concerns principals have instructed teachers to distribute material for the Yes campaign and to use school noticeboards and walls while declining any briefings or efforts for the No case. Ms Hutchins said she was not aware of a “particular complaint” but said she had received “a lot of correspondence” over the matter. Her office also later told Sky News that Mr Rowswell’s letter had been received but a decision was made not to follow it up as it had come from an Opposition MP.
