Fury as Queensland consent laws passed
A last-ditch effort to modify Queensland’s new consent laws before they passed through Parliament has been shot down.
The laws passed on Thursday mean consent will no longer be assumed if a person does not verbally reject a sexual act and consent will now also be able to be withdrawn by words or action once the sexual act has begun.
The Palaszczuk government’s consent laws were passed late in the afternoon but Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman has already conceded the laws may need to be updated once again.
