I found part of Ms Cooney's presentation chilling, particularly on boys up to the age of 14 seeing pornography as normal sex and getting their messages in that way. I forget the percentage she said but it was a relatively high percentage. I want to ask a specific question following on from that. Would Ms Cooney suggest, as well as the other issues we will tease out with the others around sex education in general, that online materials and a strategy are needed to address this online because it seems that is where many young people spend a lot of time?
