The Royal Commission into Police Corruption had arrived. Secret video evidence exploded into our homes on the evening news. No one wanted to risk being caught on camera just now, hence only the women were left. The poorest abandoned yet again. No clients meant no money, drugs, food, rent.
Street prostitutes are the poorest workers in the sex industry.
They are usually people who have no other means of income. They are often homeless, unskilled, impoverished and drug-addicted. Prostitution is merely a symptom of other issues in their lives. The Royal Commission uncovered selfishness and greed - people intent on having more regardless of need. Janine, by contrast, was being more.
