NEWSFLASH: The Attorney General @ShannonFentiman has announced the intention to decriminalise SW following 47 recommendations from the independent QLRC Report (still to be released) #DecrimQLD
***NEWSFLASH***
Proposed changes to Qld Police Powers in the Prostitution Act are not going ahead! That’s all amendments in Part 7!
Instead sex work laws will go to the Law Reform Commission for review.
Thanks to all in govt & out + all sex workers for speaking up! #DecrimQLD
Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said the government is "broadly supportive" ... We support decriminalisation, I'm here today to announce we are decriminalising sex work," she said.
“While decriminalisation will be a life changing policy shift for sex workers and our families because we’ll no longer be criminalised, the rest of Queensland thinks it has already happened and will probably not even notice it has changed.”
What does a group of loud, proud sex workers sound like. Have a listen!
When sex workers are under attack what do we do? Stand up, fight back...against police harassment/entrapment &every crime reported by a sex worker that police ignored #IWD20Challenge#InternationalWhoresDay
Sex workers have led the way on this, setting precedents in other jurisdictions that where a condom is removed, sexual assault has occurred. This is because we negotiate payment for sexual services and consent is withdrawn if the condom is tampered with or removed
Exclusive: Removing a condom during sex without consent will be considered rape and attract a maximum penalty of life in prison under sweeping laws introduced to Queensland parliament today theguardian.com/australia-news…
Relief at last!
Sex workers have a return to work date in Qld - 10 July!
The COVIDSafe Checklist sex workers fed into is still under negotiation.
Watch out for a workshop date as soon as finalised.
At least we can all start planning - 2 weeks from today! #BacktoWorkSWQLD
SWers are your co-workers, your accountants, your lawyers, your therapists, your doctors & nurses. They're your friends & your family. SWers are part of your community. They deserve industry rights like any other occupation.
