Overnight, the Law Reform Commission published 44 recommendations for improving consent laws, including changes to the “freeze” response that can occur during attacks and a narrower definition around consent for sexual activity with an intoxicated person. The changes will be considered by government for an official response in 2021.
The commission has also stipulated a “communicative consent” model where a person cannot consent to sex if they do not actually say so.
