The law will come into effect on December 6.

Ironically, this is also the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_of_Remembrance_and_Action_on_Violence_Against_Women)

Can’t make this shit up.

Cops that aren’t bastards? Never heard of that.

Stuff is a pretty bad website, but the IB Times just scraped their content, and then changed things to make it wrong (like claiming that we have legalisation here, not decrim!). Sorry to be picky!

As for the idea that dating apps and casual sex are ruining the industry, it’s a claim I’ve heard a lot from managers but I don’t think it’s as big a factor as they think. My target audience as a brothel worker is not the target audience of Tinder (although there have been occasions when a client has walked into the club and I/one of my co-workers recognise him from Tinder). Fifty-year-olds aren’t using Tinder to meet women in their early 20s (successfully, anyway).
