Sex workers and supporters in NSW are holding an end of year event against the unfair brothel closures that local councils have led in NSW, thanks to the laws introduced by the Iemma Government in July this year.
Many Local Councils in NSW have discriminatory planning policies that make it impossible for the sex industry premises to be compliant. These Local Councils more recently have taken the extra step of enacting the new brothel closure orders against brothels, on the basis of complaints from larger brothel owners. The closures are anti-competition, anti-sex worker, and are the worst case of state sanctioned violence against the sex industry in Australia.
Stop State Sanctioned Violence Against Sex Workers! Carry an umbrella for the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
We demand local council policy INCLUDE the sex industry, and stop discriminating against sex workers. We demand an end to anti-competition collusion by local councils - stop the corruption erruption! Wear red, bring an umbrella and see ya there!
