West Australia, where I worked, had a variety of irritating laws designed to prevent women from working outside of brothels: they weren’t allowed to hire support staff, like drivers or security, and often had to file taxes in a totally ridiculous way. It’s legal, although to varying degrees of decriminalization, normalization, and support depending on what state you’re in. Yep, library: they take sex work much less negatively in Australia than they do in the United States. When I heard about the Showtime Australia drama Satisfaction, set in a swanky Melbourne brothel, I think I elbowed an old lady out of the way to check it out of the library.
