#AUSTRALIA: Queensland Parliament to Lower "Discriminatory" Consent Age For Certain Sex Acts To 16

[world politics news]


New laws will be introduced this week into Queensland's parliament to standardize the age of consent for all sexual acts. Currently, the age of consent for anal sex is 18, while other sexual acts can take place legally with consent at 16. Queensland is the only state in Australia where there is a disparity, which the government says discriminates against gay men.
