Attorney General Christian Porter says the Opposition should support the Government’s reforms.

The president of sex workers’ group the Scarlett Alliance, Elena Jeffreys, says the new laws will force sex workers out to isolated industrial areas.

“Laws that put sex workers at risk such as criminalising sex workers in suburbs and expecting them to move into unsafe industrial areas are unjust,” she said.

“They’re against the human rights of individuals who do have the right to work from home.”

Ms Jeffreys is urging the Opposition not to support the measures.

Ms Jeffreys is urging the Opposition not to support the measures.

“The ALP has a good record on supporting decriminalisation of sex workers, which would mean that sex workers in residential areas are subject to the same rules and regulations as anyone else that is working from home,” she said.
