Professor Quinlivan believes the picture is more complicated. Whatever the cause, more girls are being forced to cope with their periods at primary school. But not all schools are reacting quickly to their female students' changing needs. With girls physically maturing earlier, some are engaging in sexual activity at a younger age. Puberty Blues is a picture of Australian suburban life in revolution as the wild kids get their rocks off, exploring the worlds of the parents in a context where money and loans are much cheaper, divorce is much easier, full employment and prosperity abound, conventional morality is shifting and everything is endlessly possible.

There are also some clear ties to sinister chapters of Australian beach history, particularly in the second season, which reinforces the sense of accuracy. That the series takes place in Cronulla will be enough to bring the riots to many minds, but a shockingly casual act of violence against a Japanese character in the final episode offers a more explicit link to normalised racism.
By laying bare the messy complexities of one beach community, Puberty Blues asks us to accept the discomfort that comes with loving parts of Australian culture while acknowledging the harm they can bring.
There is no easy answer to be found: the beach is glorious and dangerous, loved and feared, liberating and oppressive. In telling us something so truthful about ourselves, the series proves itself just as revolutionary as its predecessors. Puberty Blues: the joy, brutality and complexity of life growing up on Australia's beaches.
