Lindy then was remitted and released from prison to allow her to have access to her legal advisors during the inquiry. The source states that due to an absence of suitable legislation meaning there wasn’t an established system for an inquiry to be conducted, a Bill was developed which established a Commission of Inquiry into the convictions of Lindy and Michael. The Bill outlined the terms of reference for the commission and the designated powers and functions of the commissioner.

Some laws are geared more towards a federal infraction than through state and local laws, and vice

Consent always recognised is where if consent is given the accused can never be charged with that crime. The law should reflect the victim’s choice to consent as a legitimate excuse of individual autonomy. For example, property crimes with consent will not result in theft or malicious damage to property. Consent that is never recognised as defence is identified as ‘paternalism’.
