      BROTHEL REGULATION
Page: 976

      Reverend the Hon. FRED NILE: I ask the Attorney General a question without notice. Is it a fact that there are 51 legal brothels in New South Wales and at least 755 illegal brothels, nude massage and home prostitution businesses operating in New South Wales? Is it a fact that these illegal brothels are dependent on advertising in major city and suburban newspapers to increase their clientele? What action will the Government take to prohibit the advertising of illegal brothels, which was the intention of the legislation? What action is the Government taking to close down the 755 illegal brothels and related activities?
      The Hon. JOHN HATZISTERGOS: The answer to the first question is: I do not know. The answer to the second question is: I do not know. The answer to the third question is that advertising of illegal brothels can facilitate their detection. Legislation is to be introduced by the Minister for Planning in the other place that will address this issue.
