Why Consent Can't Wait: Carrie Bickmore

LiSTNR
About this episode

Most Australians agree that consent is key to healthy sexual experiences. But what does consent mean? What does it look like in action? Before we can talk to our kids about consent, we need to talk to each other.

In this special series, made in partnership with the Australian federal government as part of its Consent Can’t Wait campaign, The Briefing invites iconic Australians to unpack how they feel about consent, what their understanding of it is, how they're having conversations about it with loved ones, and unpacking some of the myths about consent that we can all fall victim to.

In part one, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by Carrie Bickmore, Gold Logie winning television host and co-host of the Carrie and Tommy Drive Show, and ambassador and youth advocate Daniel Principe to hear their thoughts on consent in 2024.

Check out your understanding of consent, and get help learning how to talk about the topic at Consent.gov.au.
