Would you vote for this? The unvarnished truth about how the decriminalised sex industry in NZ has worked out.

Just over twenty years ago, New Zealand passed the Prostitution Reform Act (PRA) by one vote. Since then, sex work has been decriminalised in NZ, and determinedly hailed by the determinedly ‘progressive’ as being a good move for prostitutes.

Yvonne van Dongen writes a brilliant investigative piece below which solidly refutes that.

It may be of little surprise to some that the NZ Prostitutes Collective, a group instrumental in the implementation of decriminalisation, won’t acknowledge that it hasn’t actually worked out that well. The group has been government funded since 1988, a year after its inception, and now gets over $1M annually. Methinks that, like a number of lobby groups, it could possibly prefer to trade the less than lovely truth for the more lovely funding.

In her article, Yvonne points out how feminist Janice Raymond highlights the way “language is manipulated to minimise violence against women”. In my opinion, this language manipulation is in line with a lot of organisations broadly termed as ‘progressive’. It’s not all that uncommon to discover an ugly underbelly to their so-called liberalism, and the use of linguistic sophistry to deceive the unwary reader or listener. However, this deception crumbles under the information Yvonne provides from data scientist J. Smith about prostitution in NZ.
