Major changes to laws around stealthing, consent and coercive control are set to be introduced into Queensland Parliament and passed next year in a move advocates say has been needed for decades.

Attorney-General and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman said the government will now move to change the definition to replace the word "given" with "agreed".

The state will also move to make "stealthing" a crime by recognising it as rape, coming into line with NSW, Victoria, the ACT, South Australia and Tasmania where it is also illegal.Stealthing is when a partner secretly removes a condom during sex, without the other person's consent. The law reforms were among 188 recommendations from the final Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce's Hear her Voice report, which have all been supported or supported in principle by the state government.

Won't be long now before we're required to sign a contract and have it witnessed by a JP just to hold hands without being accused of sexual harassment.

Awesome. Now the next time some woman just assumes I want it, I can charge her with rape.

How will anyone prove this? Ridiculous!

Fair enough but what of all the other ways consent can be breached, e.g. sperm jacking? I could think of many others across multiple genders, the standard definition of consent surely should encompass this low act.

Stealthing is wrong, however with all laws these days it will 'creep' and before you know you will be charged with stealthing when the condom broke.

. Totally ridiculous. It'll go through because nobody can oppose dumb laws these days without being attacked. This law will make 'stealthing' during otherwise consensual sex the SAME CRIME as a man holding down a woman and forcibly raping her. Absolutely ridiculous. .

WATCH DIED SUDDENLY DOCUMENTARY OUR GOVERNMENT ARE INVOLVED IN WORLD WIDE GENOCIDE AND ARE BEING PAID TO DO SO..

What about women who poke holes in condoms to get pregnant. Or how women kill 500000 babies a year threw abortion whybis bacteria on mars life but a heart beat in a real woman's bodt isint life. The left just want to kill all babies...WATCH DIED SUDDENLY ALL THIS IS PART OF IT..

And if women tamper with a condom to get pregnant? Should also be considered rape.

Things are a bit tight. No more spending on the credit card, please. Wah! Coercive control! I'm not taking DV from you, you beast. I'm going to the cops!

Will claiming to be on the pill or otherwise safe when not be criminalised? How is affirmative consent to be recorded for future reference if required?

Does this also apply to women who lie when they say they’re on the pill?

Stealthing and rape is almost the same thing obviously. Just ask anyone who has been raped - I am sure they would think it is basically the same thing.

Good

'A failure of leadership': Report into Queensland police finds culture went 'unchecked' for yearsA report into Queensland police responses to domestic violence finds a 'failure of leadership' within the service and a culture that went 'unchecked' for years, recommending the state government establish a police integrity unit to handle police complaints. Police has no desire to protect women. On what planet do you live? They harassed people for not wearing a piece of paper on their face ffs I doubt those findings would be limited to QLD. I don’t think it’s fair to expect police to get involved in personal relationships, but since it’s the only protection available then maybe it’s time for a new DV safety ‘force’. Cont… Blah blah blah Nothing will change
