| Abstract | Queensland’s existing laws governing sexual violence crimes are complex and outdated. Our Bill introduces vital reforms which better recognise the lived experience of victims of sexual violence and respond to changing attitudes towards appropriate and respectful sexual relations. It does this by introducing guiding principles which recognise the unique nature of rape and sexual assault offences; introducing a clear definition of consent as free and active agreement that embraces an affirmative consent standard; replacing the outdated reference to ‘carnal knowledge’ in defining rape; and removing the problematic mistake of fact excuse in rape and sexual assault cases. |
