Sex Work Decriminalisation Submissions (South Australia)
South Australian Sex Work Decriminalisation Inquiry (2021)
In 2021 the South Australian Parliament called for submissions to South Australia’s latest sex work decriminalisation bill, the Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill (SA). The South Australian Parliament publishes all submissions to the 2021 sex work decriminalisation inquiry. Our submission on the Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill (SA) focused on the manner in which South Australian Police charge people in the sex industry with crimes. We found that 96.1% related to activities associated with consensual adult sex work; only 3.9% of offences related to paedophilia or coercion.
