"It's not far outside what a GP usually does — it's essentially doing an intimate exam, the logistics of it is essentially the same as a [pap] smear," Dr Edwards said.
"The equivalent would be for a GP to be called for someone who has been beaten up at the pub, and for them to say, 'Sorry, I can't see you because I might have to go to court'. Often the examinations were squeezed in between other appointments or attended to out of hours, which she said was an additional disincentive for country doctors who already had heavy workloads.

I recall a similiar defence being used by the nephew of a Sydney club owner in NSW who walked free without being found not guilty. Absolutely vile and disgusting way to try to avoid responsibility and basic humanity. Should be abolished. . Ummm what is the 'myth'? You're reporting a qld legal defence that has a different standard of consent awareness. But the headline pretends the issue is something different. ABC editor clickbait... .
