Dear Mr
Frame
Re: Age of consent laws
Thank you for your email of 18
August 2011 to the Honourable Paul Lucas MP, Deputy
Premier and Attorney-General, Minister for Local Government and Special
Minister of
State about the age of consent laws. The Deputy Premier and Attorney-General has asked that I respond on his behalf.
I must advise you that there has been no change in the Government’s position
since my colleague, Ms Tess Bishop replied to your email of 17 May 2011.
I know that this is not the reply that you hoped for. I note that you have very
strong views on the issue and you have presented your arguments for law reform
in this area with great passion and tenacity. However, the Government’s
position remains the same, it has no immediate plans to review or amend the law
around the age of consent.
I trust this information is of assistance.
Yours sincerely
Jasmina Joldie
