Free Condom Machines in Schools Proposed in Australia
Family Planning Victoria, a sexual and reproductive health organization in Australia, has asked the federal government to fund contraceptive services and recommends free condoms in high schools, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports. Condom vending machines would be integrated into a broad sex education program to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. The prime minister and the Victoria president of the Australian Education Union have both rejected the idea. To read the Australian Broadcasting Corporation article, click here.

Makes a lot of sense, for I can remember 3 years ago at an urban healthfair the 16,17 and younger where happy to have handful of free condoms. I not sure if teenager sexual desirers have changed in 3 years or thousands of years. Get real condoms are a good lead end to smart talking about sex and human experience in socialty, if only other communities would understand teaching children how to have responsiable sex is just as needed as defensive driving in life saving knowlege and truths,
