Queensland
- Added a link to Queensland's use of carnal knowledge as many people (including me at first) may have no idea what it is. (Angeles 10:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC))
- Made clear the reference of sodomy in relation to anal sex, as sodomy is a much broader subject. (Angeles 10:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC))
- Added that the in the case of difference in age being used as a defense of sexual relations with a person under the age of 16 in the ACT that it can be 2 years or less, not just in the case of a difference of 2 years which was previously stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.69.136 (talk) 15:24, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Should it be made clear that section 349 of the criminal code states (2) A person rapes another person if--
(a) the person has carnal knowledge with or of the other person without the other person's consent; or
(b) the person penetrates the vulva, vagina or anus of the other person to any extent with a thing or a part of the person's body that is not a penis without the other person's consent; or
(c) the person penetrates the mouth of the other person to any extent with the person's penis without the other person's consent.
(3) For this section, a child under the age of 12 years is incapable of giving consent.
Shouldn't this be mention in relation to age of consent (specifically c)

Aust. start class
While over all the article is B class, the sections on Australia are no more than stubs linking to legislation. Gnangarra 11:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Vanuatu revised penal code
Penal Code (Amendment) Act 2006 repeal the section 99. It reads "No person shall commit any homosexual act with a person of the same sex under 18 years of age, whether or not that person consents. Penalty: Imprisonment for 2 years." http://www.paclii.org/vu/legis/num_act/pca2006167/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.12.171.218 (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Incorrect links
the links in Australia, Federal Laws, all the references link to a 404 error... what's up? Iamstupido (talk) 08:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Why is this a low importance Page... serious consequences can arise from misinformation here!
a lot of people might use this page as the sole guide to determining whether or not to engage in sexual relations with a person who may be <16, 16-17 or 18+ each of these age groups have their own strict set of laws which require a more accurate interpretation of the law.
For example, the Victorian law (Crimes Act 1958 S46 stated it was legal to have sex with anyone who was 16+. This is correct however, S48(1) goes on to say that it is only legal to have sex with someone between 16-17 if you are married to them.
This was potentially misleading people in to believing on first instance that sex with a person between and including 16-17 was legal if they were NOT married. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.108.69.145 (talk) 16:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
This page should be deleted. Wikipedia shouldn't be a travel guide for sex tourists. 170.213.131.190 (talk) 22:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
