It says in the legislation that age of consent is 16 but is that only for those under 18 or can a 16 year old consent with 19 year olds as well? Shes definitely 16. If you're a lawyer any help is appreciated or we could just wait until she gets older im in Queensland by the way.

"If you’re 16 or older, you can have sex with another person anyone else who is 16 or over without breaking the law—if you both agree, and are both capable of consenting—unless you are related to them or under their care. This also applies to same-sex couples."

is it legal? yes.
