Government prostitution inquiry imminent: deadline 18th Feb

The above is exactly the kind of thing which should be submitted to the enquiry, as evidence of what happens when that POS "Nordic Model" is implemented. Do the members of that enquiry really want to kick all SWs (sex workers, of any variety) out of their homes and onto the streets? And probably onto the dole as well?

Better to legalise it all, make sure the SWs are working in safe environments, paying their taxes and thereby benefitting everyone, and while they're at it get rid of some of the arcane laws covering what is and is not a Brothel (2 or more SWs under 1 roof), and no doubt other laws too, thus clarifying the whole situation for everyone involved.

Not everyone in the industry (and it IS an industry no matter how the nay-sayers try to dispute it) is trafficked or forced into it. Some are, that much is clear, and they should be helped to exit, but in that regard it's little different to the relatively recent cases of migrant crop-pickers being forced to live in unsanitary conditions and to work until they drop (or almost). Same problem (albeit in a different industry) so how come the current laws work for one set of people but not the other? The industry should not matter - SWs are people too and as such should be afforded the same rights as everyone else.
