“However, you’re communicating to that child that their response counts if you give them space, wait for body language, and then make eye contact.”
Later that night, her appearance was shown on Sky News, where commentator Rowan Dean seemed shocked by the remarks and called them “lefty lunacy.”
After seeing the episode, Mr. Dean seemed at a loss for words and said, “Consent for changing nappies.” That could get a little bit, but I’m not sure. I won’t go there, though.
Since then, some on Facebook and Twitter have questioned Ms. Carson’s remarks, with some vehemently disagreeing with her position.
Those incensed included Kirralie Smith, a 2016 Senate candidate for the right-wing Australian Liberty Alliance who this year joined Liberal defector Cory Bernardi’s Australian Conservatives party.
“This goes far beyond lunacy!” she commented on Facebook. This is child abuse and neglect! Many kids don’t want their diapers changed.
