Interesting article of the economic boom effects on Australia


Forget Australia's mining boom. The nation's strong economy, high currency and wages have made it a magnet for sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Foreign sex workers, drug smugglers and global rock acts are all targeting Australia to cash in on an economy growing at 3.1 percent when other developed nations are struggling to expand at all.

SEX AND THE BOOM
Sex workers are also cashing in on the boom, particularly in remote mining towns, where the world's oldest profession is the latest to adopt fly-in, fly-out work practices. And more overseas sex workers are heading for Australia.
A 2012 report for the government in the most populous state, New South Wales, found a marked rise in the number of female sex workers from Thailand, Korea and China since 2006, with 53 percent of sex workers from Asia and a further 13.5 percent from other non-English-speaking countries.
The report, by the University of New South Wales, found a median hourly rate of A$150 for sex services in Australia's largest city of Sydney, although sex workers can charge double that in remote mining towns full of cashed up men.
In the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie in the Western Australia state, the Red House brothel, which has operated since 1934, advertises services starting at A$300 an hour.
Proprietor Bruna Meyers said women in her establishment earned up to A$4,000 a week at a busy time, or about three times the average full-time Australian wage.
"The girls who come here are mainly from over east (eastern Australian states). They come in, sometimes for two or three weeks at a time. Some are just girls who are travelling around the world," Meyers told Reuters. (Editing by Ron Popeski)

I could not possibly think of anything more repulsive than shagging a indigenous Aussie prostitute, my goodness those aboriginals are ugly.

[boss45]

But the article states an overwhelming majority are coming from Asia.

Yes I see your point now boss forget what I wrote previously, but with the Aussie dollar trading as high as it is these days on the currency markets, like the article says, I can see the attraction to overseas workers of any description in heading down under.

With the poor rate of Sterling I'm quite surprised that London has so many overseas hookers plying their trade and still they continue to flood in and many of them legally from Eastern Europe as well as hundreds of Thai, Malaysian and Filipino ladyboys.

Yeah its not rally a great place for tourists to go for the sex industry rather a good place for hookers to visit and earn some money. Australia is a pretty expensive place to live.

[aussieguy]

I woudn't spend one single dollar of my hard earned money on a local hooker here in oz...fuck em

[Scottymef]

As a rule Id agree with you there mate. Although i did have one exception... was years ago now but a hot little 18 year old (I think she was Italian) Well worth the price of admission- which wasnt too expensive back then!
