Rape, deepfake porn and misogyny in schools: Jess Hill’s new SBS documentary examines how Australians’ attitudes towards sex and consent are being shaped
n the last few years, the national conversation around sex in Australia has shifted urgently to one centred on the notion of consent. Particularly in a post-#MeToo world, there’s a growing understanding of how important it is to teach this at the most fundamental level.
Hill calls on familiar faces, including advocates Grace Tame and Saxon Mullins, as well as everyday people, to share their experiences. It’s often difficult viewing – discretion is advised for those who might find such material triggering. Noelle Martin knows a thing or two about that, having discovered “deepfake” photos of herself in sexual situations when she was just 17. Revenge porn has increased by more than 50% in the last year, with more than 4,000 reports made to the eSafety Commissioner. Often, this is combined with blackmail.
