00:00 Why did I start dancing with him? Why did I leave my friend?
00:04 If I really didn't want it, then I would have physically stopped him.
00:08 You know, questions about why I did everything I did
00:11 and no questions about why he did everything he did.
00:16 Why there was no one-second question to ask if I wanted to have sex.
00:25 Every time we touch each other, a hug, a handshake, we're negotiating consent.
00:32 The more we touch, the more nuanced that negotiation becomes.
00:38 And the more often we get it wrong.
00:42 A former student found guilty of sexual assault without consent.
00:46 Police allege her constant attempts to get away from him were enough to convey a lack of consent.
00:52 Lazarus told the court today he still believes it was consensual.
00:56 How is a man to know that a woman is not consenting when she's participating?
01:00 In this series, I want to explore why we ignore consent
01:05 and why we don't believe people when they say they've been raped.
01:10 It was after a party one night. I'd been planning it.
01:16 I blamed myself for it and I just carried a lot of shame.
01:20 The thing that went through my mind at the time was, "It's your fault, you asked for it."
01:24 Around 85 sexual assaults are reported every day in Australia.
01:30 And survivors are telling their stories.
01:34 2021 Australian of the Year is Grace Tame.
01:38 They're leading an uprising in this country.
01:41 I remember him saying, "Don't make a sound. Well, hear me now."
01:46 Using my voice amongst a growing chorus of voices that will not be silenced.
01:53 Consent is now a red-hot national conversation.
01:59 Who here is determined to make this moment count?
02:03 Rage explodes.
02:06 We can't keep quiet anymore.
02:08 Our target has been talking to a 15-year-old female.
02:12 We need to talk about sex, consent and power.
02:17 The fact that almost every rapist gets away with it, that's a joke.
02:21 And it's really easy. Blame the victim.
02:24 We'll reveal what's happening to people online.
02:27 Images fabricating me engage in sexual intercourse.
02:31 We call some of this space the Manosphere.
02:34 Grip her up by the neck.
02:36 And how consent is ignored with devastating consequences.
02:41 I couldn't even tell my parents or my friends.
02:43 I didn't tell them for 10 years what happened.
02:45 I was terrified. Terrified.
02:49 We need to give people the language for enthusiastic, informed, retractable consent.
02:55 We're in a new sexual revolution.
02:58 This time, it's all about consent.
