I have the following Django model:
class Make:
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
class MakeContent:
make = models.ForeignKey(Make)
published
One more time, it is not clear what was the question, but if it was desired that all related MakeContent objects must have been published this can work:
Make.objects.exclude(MakeContent_set__published=False)
And if at least one of them (as it was in other answers):
Make.objects.filter(MakeContent_set__published=True)
