Define "pimp" and "brothel keeper" - nearly any way you do it, you get sex workers, friends and family #saparli

That's an understatement. 💔

Debating the street work laws now. This will be a close one. .. #saparli

Although most of us are feeling flat and frustrated by now it's hard to stay positive. #saparli

#saparli 11 to 8 the closest vote in favour of decriminalisation street based sex work

Does #SAparli notice all the people tweeting support of decrim And all the people supporting decrim in the gallery, we all sex workers. Not owners and operators. Not a single pimp in sight... This bill will protect us!! Owners don't care ..either way they still gonna be here

Welcome back to the #decrim #sexwork debate at #saparli where the bill is entering into its 2nd reading in the House of Assembly after passing the legislative council

Where the Attorney General, Vickie Chapman is giving her speech introducing the "#decrim" bill while at the same time encouraging a range of amendments #saparli

And now MP Katrine is giving her speech as the CO sponsor.... I believe in YOU Katrine... Don't let us down #saparli

Katrine says it's out place to ensure that all people have access to their fundamental Human Rights #saparli #decrim #sexwork

"and that is way I have supported #decrim of #sexwork for more than 2 decades #saparli

Katrine says that the failure of #saparli to not pass this #decrim sexwork legislation has let these workers down

Katrine hildyard says the industrial system is not perfect but that is not a reason to exclude one group of workers so that they can access the rights that do exist. #saparli #decrim #sexwork

"It is time for sex workers to be safely heard..... and is time for us to be honest about the fact that sex work is work " Katrine hildyard #saparli

Katrine says it is when sex work becomes decriminalised that we will better understand it. #saparli

Debate has been adjourned till 25th of September... And it's a race to ensure this bill doesn't get parogued at the end of the year like the last 3 #saparli #decrim #sexwork

So good
