As with previous submissions to the Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commission Scarlet Alliance’s main concern is that licensing the sex industry simply doesn’t work. It is expensive, encourages non-compliance, has no benefits for those complying and many deficits that detract from its implementation.
The main new and emerging issues that we would like to bring to the CMC’s attention is the over policing of private sex workers in Queensland. This has opened the door on corruption and should be of considerable concern to the CMC.
A positive step forward has been the opening of Respect Inc, which has created a voice for sex workers and our issues. We enthusiastically endorse the Respect Inc Submission and look forward to giving verbal evidence to your team,
