Sex Industry Laws in Western Australia

NEWSFLASH!! The Western Australian Coalition Govt is reviewing Sex Industry Laws in Western Australia without any way for sex workers to have a say.

The laws would have decriminalised the sex industry.Link here to download a PDF of the laws that are now unlikely to proceed
