So this is the line that stood out most to be. It is a grey area though.

Nothing grey about it..... the new law is as 'black and white' as it gets... purchasing sexual services from anyone is now a criminal offence... doesn't matter who the person is.... trafficked; coerced; working willingly; or your pretty next door neighbour... !!!... if it's proven you paid then you're 'screwed' .... I think there's a motto there... ''Screw and be Screwed''.........

So here is a scenario, You meed a girl in a club or pub one night and go back to yours, you have some fun and the following morning
your not in a state to drive the girl home safely and you give her money to get a taxi, could that be loosely interpreted as paying for sexual services?

I don't think so by the strict letter of the law you are giving her money for a different ride

Dang...so time to retire...?

**irishbloke** · 27-09-19, 13:06

Or more importantly, will this stop escorts coming here or continue to work here?

What is she walks and keeps the money?

Some people are so nervous that they shouldn't leave the house! Not only should they get escorts to visit them, they should get their groceries delivered. It is dangerous to leave the confines of your own property. There be dragons out there!

Hey if Aldi start a cheap delivery service I'm gonna be all over that! 😆
