NSW pledges to overhaul antiquated consent laws


While the new bill is yet to be tabled, Speakman said he supported the commission’s 44 recommendations. He said the definition of consent would change to “something that's given voluntarily and freely by agreement”.
"That it can be withdrawn at any time … consent to one sexual activity is not consent to any other sexual activity and that self-intoxication of the accused is not an excuse for failing to form a reasonable belief,” he told the ABC.
Saxon Mullins from Rape and Sexual Assault Research and Advocacy said that she was pleased that this day had come but that apart from the reforming the law, which was “a significant step”, more focus was needed to ensure “all survivors’ voices are heard and their justice is sought, whatever way that is for them”.
