Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) supports the intent of the Criminal Code (Non-consensual Creation of Intimate Images and Audio Material) Amendment Bill 2026, which aims to strengthen protections against the non-consensual creation of intimate images and audio material, including AI-generated content.
In its submission, ISQ highlights what the proposed changes mean for schools, particularly when it comes to safeguarding and supporting children and young people. ISQ also recommends clearer distinctions between deliberate or reckless behaviour and less culpable conduct, ensuring the legislation appropriately recognises the different circumstances and levels of responsibility among young people.
