Yeah nah this is just more virtue signalling from National. They had 9 years in power and did nothing about consent laws. Now suddenly they care? 😒
Wow groundbreaking stuff. So now we need a signed contract before sex? Get real. This is just another way to make dating awkward af.
About bloody time. Consent should be clear and enthusiastic. Too many people use 'ambiguity' as an excuse. This is a good step forward.
student take. Wait till you get a real job and see how the world works.
I dunno man, seems like common sense to me. If you have to ask 'is this OK?' then you already know the answer.
Right? How hard is it to just ask 'you good?' before things escalate.

Just more government overreach. The laws we have are fine, it's enforcement that's the problem. But nah let's add more red tape 🙄
obviously haven't had to deal with the current system. Try again when someone you know gets hurt.
Paul Goldsmith talking about consent while his party cosies up to the far right. Where's the consistency? This is bullshit.
For everyone saying 'this is stupid' have you ever had to explain why you didn't say no loud enough? Educate yourselves.
cope. Nobody is saying no to actual consent, just to government telling us how to hook up.
Best thing National could do is stay out of our bedrooms. But here we are.
Facts. They're just after the youth vote while cutting services for victims. Vomit.
