Women risk assault with clothing choice: MP - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Women risk assault with clothing choice: MP - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "A South Australian MP has told parliament that women who wear clothing with provocative slogans risk sexual assault.

Former Liberal, now independent MP Bob Such made his comments to the State Parliament during debate on rape reform legislation.

Dr Such believes that some women may be inadvertently sending a wrong message by the clothing they wear, such as t-shirts.

'What clothing you wear or don't wear, none of that justifies any form of sexual assault,' he added.

'Some of these young women, they might think it's fun to put that message on but I don't think it helps the situation to be encouraging people out there who don't need much encouragement to do what they shouldn't do.'"
