For some reason Australia is among the governments that are ultra-progressive and ultra-woke. The latest symptom of this is that they are now introducing a new law that lying to a woman in order to get sex will be considered sexual assault, even if she fully consents to it based on that lie.
It shouldn't be necessary to explain why such a law would be highly problematic.
Rather obviously, in the vast majority of situations there is no proof of what was said, and therefore it becomes your typical "he says she says" situation, where eg. the woman claims that the guy lied, and the guy denies it. How can we know who is telling the truth?
If the Australian justice system becomes as feminist as eg. that of Spain, it means that the woman will be believed by default. This is extraordinarily prone to abuse, especially since it's basically impossible to safeguard against such abuse. What stops vindictive women from abusing this law and simply claim that the guy lied? If the courts believe her by default, the guy will have no recourse.
There's also the problem of what constitutes "lying". Does lying by omission count? If she gets a false impression because the guy doesn't reveal something, is that "lying"?
And what happens if the guy never actually lies, but the woman misunderstands something he says? This happens a lot. I can't even count the number of times that I have discovered that somebody has completely misunderstood something I have said, or I have misunderstood something someone said, or I have witnessed this happening among people.
The hellhole that's Spain is going to happen in Australia, mark my words.
