What will you do to slake the demand ?
Free Penthouse Magazines and KY jelly ?

...And further; I defy anybody with a normal social conscience (IE: That little “intuition or judgment of the intellect that distinguishes right from wrong”) to oppose a new brothel to be installed in the center of your town under the new paradigm of decriminalized prostitution!

...You will be introduced to a State sponsored “Show-Trial” at your local Magistrates Court presided over by a compliant Judge of the “Land and Environment Court”, which will proceed to demonstrate to you and your community, just how insignificant you and your fellow citizens are in the scheme designed to officially divorce you from traditional Australian community morals.

...You will also observe evidence of the “Land and Environment Courts’” overarching power, as it strips away all rights from your local Council to maintain the expected standard of community morality by assisting prostitution in its broader entry into Australian life, unhindered by community standards.

...The State has now joined the “Prostitution Racket” under decriminalization legislation: What a disgrace!

When men respect their manhood, they realise that women are not objects for trade, purchase or exploitation and that there is no such thing as a right to have women available on demand, for a fee, to be used for their sexual gratification.

PatG:

...By assisting (sic) prostitutes with better outcomes and decriminalising prostitution, Governments have allowed themselves to become confused over the moral question which is strongly associated with prostitution: “What is more important, the welfare of the prostitute or the social stability and the accepted morality of our communities”?

...Governments have firmly landed on the “wrong” side in this decision by supporting the decriminalising of prostitution and running behind the "screen" by discounting out altogether a moral conflict which the community must themselves decide on, but are now unable since the moral question will not be officially debated...by LAW!

Congratulations Matthew on clearly enunciating the issues here.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, yesterday that Australia will fund a $50 million effort in a bid to reduce trafficking of people in Asia. The announcement made yesterday about people trafficking "aims to increase convictions and reduce opportunities for trafficking, while victims of trafficking will be supported through the criminal justice process" (news.com.au-20 Nov 12)

Legalising prostitution in Australian States is equivalent to rolling a red carpet out to sex traffickers; increasing opportunities for trafficking and exploitation.

The Australian Christian Lobby gave evidence yesterday in Canberra to the Joint Standing Committee Inquiry into Slavery, Slavery like conditions and People Trafficking in Australia supporting the Nordic approach to regulation (see below)

It is vital that State Parliaments investigate the Nordic approach which rightly respects the dignity of women and has been very successful in reducing sex trafficking, where implemented.

There is something missing in the life of any man who feels a need to use the services of a prostitute, erotic masseuse, or stripper. Something must be closed in a man for him to use 'sex services.' His lust drives him to forget that the women in this 'industry' are someone's daughters, someone's sisters. They deserve better than to be treated as the object of someone's lust. Decriminalisation of prostitution is the wrong way to go. Rather, it should be a criminal offense for any man or woman to employ another person for 'sexual services' or to provide 'sexual services' of any kind. And concrete assistance needs to be given to the victims of sexual exploitation.
