How it works
Why we want your input?
The proliferation of smartphones and the development of new communication platforms has led to an increase in reports of intimate images being shared without consent. Despite the devastating impact of such behaviour on individuals, there are no specific offences addressing this in the Criminal Code Act 1995.
How you can voice your opinion?
You can provide a written submission by 30 June 2017 and/or attend one of the workshops being in held in Canberra, Sydney or Melbourne in July 2017.
What will be the outcome of this consultation?
Your submissions will help inform the Government’s consideration of this issue and the development of legislation.
