But Rape and Sexual Research Advocacy chief executive Dr Rachael Burgin said Victoria still had not achieved affirmative consent.
Burgin said the reforms failed to meet the test of affirmative consent because the new laws do not stipulate that consent be given continuously through words and actions. Victoria and NSW still left consent open to interpretation, she said.Stealthing – the act of removing protection during sex without consent – will also become a crime.
“These new affirmative consent laws will ensure our justice system keeps up with those expectations.”from the Victorian Law Reform Commission, which found sexual violence was widespread and under-reported, and victim-survivors needed better protection from trauma when seeking justice. Ros Spence, the minister for the prevention of family violence, said the reforms would shift the focus from the victim onto the accused.
Great, because as we know, everyone should be considered guilty until proven innocent. Wait . . .
Defendant: :'she gave me a nod' Judge: 'can you prove that?' Defendant: nods
Dan Andrews fucks us every day without affirmative consent, can he be strung up by this legislation please?
Women will have field day. Most men shouldvthink about paying upfront for a prostitute. Under a normal new setup the ball in the female’s court & men can only lose.
Just make sure you're the first one to accuse the other of sexual assult.
So I’m effect an accusation is by default a rape conviction because how does an accused prove consent?
Great work Victoria 👍
