NSW abolishes character references in sexual assault sentencing decisions
NSW abolished good character references as a mitigating factor in sexual assault sentencing Monday, though the government's broader reforms stalled in the upper house. Attorney-General Michael Daley reintroduced the full bill after the Coalition and Greens backed a narrower version. Victim-survivors Harrison James and Jarad Grice led the grassroots movement #YourReferenceAintRelevant, arguing character references undermine justice.
