The ACT Government’s decision to decriminalise the possession and use of illicit drugs is irresponsible and lacks compassion.

In support of Fiona Patten MP’s long-term efforts to decriminalise prostitution, the Andrews Government passed the Sex Work Decriminalisation Act 2022 in the Upper House by 24 votes to 10 last week. 

On Wednesday, 10 June 2020, ACL participated in the Victorian Government’s 'Review into the Decriminalisation of Sex Work'. This review of prostitution covered commercial brothels and escort agencies, massage parlours and similar businesses, in small owner-operated businesses, and on the streets.
