When consent law looks for excuses, not proof

In this episode, Emma talks with Lucy about what NSWWAA saw inside DCJ’s stakeholder roundtable on the sexual consent reforms review. They walk through the structural gap between the domestic‑abuse laws and the consent provisions, why the current ‘reasonable steps’ test lets men wear women down, and how the fraud provision is at risk of being narrowed in ways that ignore serious deception about who has access to women’s bodies.This podcast provides general information and opinion only and does not constitute legal advice.
