Sex worker service 'disgusting waste of money', says the Queensland Shadow Health Minister.
Yes indeed; why pay to provide people who do sex work with safe-sex materials and education when one could instead engage in moral indignation for free? :-P And of course, we know that not funding such things will bring about an end to sex work, because no-one would ever engage, or be pressured to engage, in unsafe sex! Apparently the Shadow Health Minister's idea of helping people who do sex work is to tell them to "Just Say No!" to sex work - OMG, *slaps forehead*, why didn't anyone think of this before??
