It’s not an excuse to seek to understand the underlying risk factors in men’s lives that drive violence, it’s a solution. @Chanelcontos 👏 https://t.co/YPyjx616iK

A packed multi-generational audience for ‘Consent Laid Bare’ by @Chanelcontos - much to learn and impart about consent & body autonomy, & the crowd enthusiastically agreed. Long queue for signing too 👏#AdlWW @adelwritersweek

[Senator Nita Green @nitagreenqld]

Thank you to campaigners and victim-survivors for your advocacy on this important issue.

It was really special to have @Chanelcontos in the Chamber today when the motion passed.

[Sienna Parrott @SiennaParrott]

🚨 Motion for an inquiry into sexual consent laws in Australia has just passed.

Congrats👏@nitagreenqld and @Chanelcontos

The inquiry will address the inconsistencies in consent laws across different jurisdictions #auspol

Here's why national harmonisation is a good idea👇

Most common question I get about stealthing is if tampering with other forms of contraception counts. Here’s some clarity —>

[Chanel Contos @Chanelcontos]

We are now 6/8 of the way to the criminalisation of stealthing Australia wide! @ShannonFentiman @AnnastaciaMP Woohoo !

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

🚨 QLD Attorney-General @ShannonFentiman has confirmed that the Palaszczuk Government will criminalise stealthing.

QLD joins the ACT, TAS, NSW, VIC and SA to have criminalised the non-consensual removal of a condom during sex.

That's 6 jurisdictions down, 2 to go! ✊ #auspol

Yesterday’s article by Nick Cater was appalling. At best it was out of touch, irrelevant and poor political strategy. At worst if was offensive, insulting and archaic. ⁦⁦Luckily his views don’t reflect many in our party. ⁦@MenziesInst⁩ https://t.co/kSacC33Ipf

Saw memes about Fox News arguing this last week in the US but good to know that we are no better :)

[Catherine Cusack @katieqs]

The Liberals Party continues to struggle with “disturbing trends” like young unmarried women having their own thoughts and the “dubious fortune” of University education.

The Menzies Institute is publicly funded. So you are all paying for this 16th century commentary

[Tarang / तरंग (he/him) @tarang_chawla]

Hey Australia, it is entirely possible to condemn the actions of alleged rapist and Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka (who is accused of four counts of rape while on tour here for the men's T20 World Cup) without resorting to racism against brown men.
