David, the question really wades into political theory, which I never spent much of my study time or book time on. (Spent more of my time in Psychology, Literature and Computers) As you say, consent for age varies from country to country, historical century by historical century.
At what point does youth take on the responsibility of adulthood? What is the best kind of government for a civilized society? Should someone smarter than Greta Thunberg decide whether she is allowed a platform to speak on or not? What censorship is good and what censorship is bad?
These are all areas of debate and political theory, which I can throw some of my uninformed opinion out upon, but I doubt would be able to match in argument - someone who is chair of the Melbourne Law School.

Thanks for the link however! heh.
Cheers, let me know if you find someone smarter than Greta.
