Last November the New South Wales parliament received a commissioned report into whether sexual consent laws should be changed. This was prompted by the case of Saxon Mullins, a woman who gave no explicit consent but still lost her appeal to uphold the conviction of her alleged rapist. Ms Mullins was not impressed with the recommendations of the report and together with Dr Rachael Burgin she has founded a group called Rape & Sexual Assault Research & Advocacy.
