I have - its not an extensive list and the only makes reference of assault with intention to have sexual intercourse. So while its not on the list it could possiblystill be a crime of speicific intent but i can seem to find anything in our crim text book or on the laws of australia which specifics

An Anthony Callea fan & a law student!!! I thought I was alone
If the attempt has specific intent, wouldn't it be safe to say the actual act of it would too? Meh I haven't done Criminal law yet and am most likely 100% wrong but I can't wait *green with envy goes back to reading the Civil Liability Act 2002(NSW)*
