Prostitution.

Having lived in Queensland through the 70's I found it amusing to see a very conservative government in the Bjelke Peterson regime allowing the brothels in Brisbane to flourish.  Of course they claimed they never knew where they were, but even I, who had never been in any of them, could point them out easily.

I have been a supporter of the legalisation of many prohibited substances and practices.  My philosophy is that legalisation with appropriate legislation can remove the criminal element to industries that have propped up and supported the criminal underworld

In my opinion Prohibition, the greatest social experiment ever, proved this point lucidly.

Prostitution is one of those practices which governments don't want to address.  I suppose they think that they're dammed if they do and the same if they don't.

What do you think?
