Speaking with 6PR Weekends host Chrissy Morrissy, Isaac Mulcrone highlighted that the Department of Education has a key opportunity to broaden students’ perspectives.

“When you look at the news there’s a lot of negative coverage around Tourette’s and we know that a lot of what is consumed and what inform people is through news and media … If we’re feeding young people the wrong information, the wrong education, then we are ill-equipping these young people to face what is out there,” he said.
