“I don’t care what people say about me, about my husband, about us as a family, because

it’s their opinion. It’s not fact. They don’t know us,” Candice told Something To Talk About.

“I’m not here to defend their page. And, I truly believe what [Prime Minister] Anthony Albanese is doing is the right thing to protect young adults from something that can be very dangerous.”

“But we also have an obligation as a parent, most parents have social media, to teach our kids how to use it in a positive way.

“It’s wonderful if we know how to use it correctly and if we can empower people or we

can educate people or we could make people smile or laugh.”

Candice said she had prepared herself to hear unsolicited opinions about their decision to launch their Instagram.

“The best way to teach resilience is to not wrap your kids in cotton wool.

“A bit of tough love. How can you teach resilience if they’ve never failed? How can you tell your kids to get back up when they’ve never fallen?

“We love our kids and we support them but we also need to let them learn for themselves sometimes.”
