"The Australian government has recently launched Consent Can’t Wait, a
campaign focused on supporting sexual consent communication between adults and
young people.

Advertisements will run on television, in cinemas, online and on social media,
encouraging adults to check their understanding of consent. Videos pose
questions such as “how do I bring up consent?”, “do I have to ask every time?”
and “what if we’ve been drinking?”, before finally asking “if we don’t know the
answers, how will our kids?”.

The campaign website provides a range of resources designed to equip adults to
have conversations with each other, and with young people.

While this campaign has a lot of positives, consent education won’t be enough
to stop sexual violence on its own."
