A petition to trigger a debate in the New South Wales Parliament to teach consent education in schools launches online today.

The New South Wales epetition, sponsored by New South Wales MP Jenny Leong, has received nearly 900 signatures since opening this morning.

Chanel Contos, 23, founder of the ‘Teach Us Consent’ website, has received more than 4,000 allegations of sexual assault from young adults while they were in school and over 29,300 signatures on a separate petition started just over two weeks ago.
