OZ Tabloids match their UK counterparts on sensational stories and gossip. Mr Murdoch is a power here as well-and he is an Aussie. The best of the broadsheets the Sydney Morning Herald and it ran a thoughtful little story which probably had a more scurrilous treatment in the Australian Sun and other rags. Sex workers in Sydney are apparently facing hard times. Under NSW law prostitutes are allowed to ply for hire but not where they are in sight of a school, church, community hall or other public building; nor in sight of a private residence-sight meaning line of sight and is not altered by being obscured at night, in darkness. Apparently this is rather limiting their activities in the city and the suburbs. Someone has suggested that a neighbourhood volunteer as being Prossie Friendly so as trade can be practiced legally in view of private residences and the rest of the city designated as a legover free Zone. At time of going to press there has not been a mad rush of volunteering suburbs or even streets.(Apparently three adjoining ones is the minimum requirement) I'll keep you and the Rough Guide posted of any developments.
