Queensland Brothel Industry

(Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) Earlier today, results from a probing three-year study of Queensland's brothel industry by the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) were presented to the state parliament. Among the findings were that businesses were being stifled by restrictions on the number of hookers allowed and by the requirement that no brothel can operate within 200 meters of a residential street. In order to promote growth in the prostitution business, the Commission recommended that the number of whores working per shift in each five-room brothel be increased from five to eight and changing the law to reduce the minimum distance for a whorehouse from a residential street to 100 meters.

It seems quite progressive of the Australians to not only legalize prostitution and brothels, but to also have the government actively foster expansion of the business. There also appears to be a streak of laziness within the customer base if they have trouble walking 200 meters to purchase the services of a hooker. And, one other thing, I'm having trouble calculating how eight hookers in a five-room brothel adds up. The only thing I can figure is that maybe they have relievers in the bullpen or a practice squad.
