Don't Award Filth: Denounce "Welcome to Sex" Receiving PM's Literary Award

Don't Award Filth:  Denounce "Welcome to Sex" Receiving PM's Literary Award

Did you know that "Welcome to Sex", a graphic sex guidebook recommended for children as young as 8, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards just last month? Yes, you read that right—a children's book filled with explicit descriptions of sexual practices like fingering, oral sex, anal sex, and more has been elevated to national recognition by your government. While not winning the top award, as a shortlisted book it has been officially endorsed as a runner-up.

But this isn’t just about a book. It’s about the innocence of our children being violated and radical ideologies being shoved into the public eye under the guise of education. Parents should decide what’s appropriate for their kids—not award panels who are completely out of touch with community values.

We need to take action right now because the longer this goes unchallenged, the more legitimacy this disturbing content gains. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Arts Minister Tony Burke need to hear from all of us, loud and clear: this is not acceptable.

We must demand a public denouncement of this book and call for changes to the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards process. Will you join me?

SIGN THE PETITION NOW to demand the Prime Minister and Arts Minister denounce this book and protect our children’s innocence!

This is a full-blown attack on the innocence of our children, folks! The shortlisting of "Welcome to Sex" is a direct assault on parental rights and the very values that hold our society together.

This is about a book pushing graphic sexual content and transgender ideology on kids as young as 8, and they’re trying to normalise this garbage under the cover of education. Parents should be the gatekeepers of what their kids are exposed to, not some government-backed awards committee.

When the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards starts giving a nod to this kind of filth, it's a clear signal that traditional values, family protections, and even basic morality are under siege. Worse, all of this is taxpayer-funded, meaning your hard-earned dollars are being used to prop up an agenda that directly undermines the very fabric of family life.

This must be stopped NOW before more dangerous content makes its way into our schools and homes! "Welcome to Sex" is not an isolated case. By rewarding this book, our government is normalising dangerous and explicit content aimed at young children. If they get away with this, what’s next? More books and materials pushing graphic sexual content and transgender ideology will soon follow, targeting children under the age of 10.

This book has already been pulled from major retailers after parents stood up in outrage. But now it’s being held up by our own government as an example of Australian literary excellence. This isn’t just wrong—it’s an affront to every Australian parent who wants to protect their children’s innocence. This is why we need an official review of the selection process for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards, and stricter content guidelines for future awards. We cannot allow this kind of material to continue being celebrated.

If we don’t act now, we risk allowing this kind of material to embed itself in Australian culture. More explicit content will be aimed at children, eroding parental authority and creating a dangerous environment where children are exposed to harmful ideologies at an increasingly young age. Parents will lose control over what their children are taught, and the government will feel emboldened to push these radical agendas without resistance.

But if we win—if we can push Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Arts Minister Tony Burke to publicly denounce "Welcome to Sex" and commit to restructuring the awards selection panel to better reflect our community values—we will send a strong message that Australia values its children’s innocence. We will set a precedent that protects future generations from harmful content and gives power back to parents.

This fight is about more than just a book. It’s about standing up for our children, our families, and our values. We must act now.

SIGN THE PETITION NOW to demand Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Arts Minister Tony Burke stand with us in protecting our kids and our future.

Thank you for standing up for what’s right.

Don't Award Filth

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned by the shortlisting of "Welcome to Sex" in the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. This book, which includes graphic depictions of sexual practices and promotes transgender ideology to children as young as 8, has no place being celebrated on a national stage under the banner of the Prime Minister’s title.

The shortlisting of this book undermines the rights of parents and the innocence of children, sending a message that highly explicit material is acceptable for young audiences. We, as concerned Australians, call on the Prime Minister and the Arts Minister to take immediate action to address this issue.

We request the following:

  1. A public denouncement of "Welcome to Sex" by the Prime Minister, acknowledging that such explicit material is inappropriate for children.

  2. An official review into the selection process for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards, to ensure that future shortlisted works align with community standards and reflect the values of Australian families.

  3. The implementation of stricter content guidelines for future awards, particularly when it comes to material targeted at children, to prevent the normalization of graphic sexual content in children's literature.

  4. A restructuring of the awards selection panel to better reflect the values of the broader Australian community, ensuring that the voices of parents, educators, and family advocates are included in decisions that affect our children.

The innocence of our children must be protected, and Australian families deserve to have their voices heard on matters that impact the next generation. We urge you to take a stand and correct this alarming oversight, ensuring that future awards reflect the moral and ethical standards expected by the public.


Sincerely,


<Your Name>
