??? I thought age of consent in Australia was 16?

...just checked depends on the state but uh... Yeah we do let some 16yo decide if they want to have sex. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

So I was unaware, and I guess that's their choice to make. I'm not sure I'm okay with saying it's okay for an adult to have sex with a 16 year old but that's their choice I guess.
