There's a fine BBC article on how things have changed in NZ since prostitution was legalised six years ago.
It's fairly short and well worth a read, so I won't highlight bits of it. Suffice to say, this is a golden opportunity for pragmatarians and libertarians to say "We told you so."

Maybe they can do the same for the drugs problem* next?
*Mostly caused by drug prohibition.
And a new one for the Inland Revenue - Vagina Activity Tax.
Rumour has it that professional prostitutes just agree an approximate turnover figure with HMRC and pay tax on that. Seems fair enough to me.
Doesn't that leave HMRC open to charges of "living off immoral earnings"? :-)

The Shepherds must be raking it in by now.
"When "Sophie", a medical worker from Christchurch...": did they really want to avoid saying "nurse"? I wonder why.
We told them so!
If you had ever been to NZ you would know that they have great difficulty in differentiating "sex" from "six" and "yis" from "yes".
Try it some time..
