Overhaul of Queensland’s sexual consent laws will come into force today

Sept. 23, 2024 - 10:22 By ABC NEWS (Australia)

New sexual consent laws - that stipulate an affirmative model of consent - come into force in Queensland today. The changes more clearly outline situations where consent for sexual activity can't be given, such as circumstances of coercion or intimidation. CEO of Women's Legal Service Queensland, Nadia Bromley, says this will not only change what will happen in courtrooms but in communities as well.
