A parliamentary inquiry into national consent laws has heard damning testimony over three days, including reports of victim-survivors being forced to study in the same space as their alleged ra**st.
“What we hear from a lot of students is, 'there's not a lot of point in reporting, because I'm not being kept safe,'” she said.
“'I'm not being supported. And at the end of it, I've returned to campus to find out the person that hurt me is still there and I didn't know about it.'”
