Intoxication is not Sexual Consent
WA is one of the only jurisdictions in Australia that does not acknowledge how intoxication affects the ability of a person to consent to sexual acts in its Criminal Code. I believe that all Western Australians should receive the same protections as the rest of Australia regarding their right to freely and voluntarily given consent.
​
WA is currently reviewing its sexual assault laws. WA Consent has made a submission and will continue to advocate for an amendment to Western Australia's intoxication and consent laws.
