During the approx. 3 years from 2010 after I lost my ‘life partner’ of 34 years, I had the Privilege of interacting Constructively with Senior Management of “SIN” (S.A. Sex Industry Network), one of there wonderful workers told me…

The 2 Biggest enemies of Sex Workers were NOT the Police but

RELIGION

and 

 POLITICIANS!

The day I walked into my first Brothel, was the day the huge Pain in my Body, Heart, Mind and Soul started to ease.

If this had not happened, there is a Very, VERY good chance that this website would NOT exist, and 

YOU

Would NOT be reading it.
I have significant and Very Personal experience with trying to Change Community Thinking in South Australia. (See full story inc. excerpt from my 3rd book of poems:-  4 Sex Workers and their Clients “It Wasn’t Just because You Called me Darling” pls scroll down to same picture.)

Leader Sex Work Article 16.10.2019

This truly excellent article giving views of the Local S.A. then sitting Member, a Sex Worker, and a Male Client, with a HUGE THANK U to the Barossa Leader; is definitely worth a read. I am totally, totally used to being totally ignored, INCLUDING sitting on the Steps of Parliament House for 3 days. 

The exceptions were

1. The Lovely Police Woman who came past early the first morning -I smiled and lifted my Hat;  to check there was no offensive language/statements etc on ANY of my Material,
2. The Parliamentary Security guards who came out and, after carefully looking BEHIND my signs to work out HOW they were staying in place as the STRICT  rules (quite rightly) – to those given permission from the Police and Parliament’s Sargant at Arms, to occupy the front steps for a given time each day says… 

“No signs/material  can be ATTACHED (quite rightly) to ANY part of the “HOUSE”,

But being an innovative Farmer,  using a highly un-sophisticated set of hidden weights and elastic straps, my 4 large signs were very stable including in the wind; and NOT ATTACHED at all,

I had “ALL DAY” “rights’ to this central position so that…

 so

I recall the channel something T.V. crew turned up to interview a Male M.P. and I think Cabinet Member about public money, I think it was,

They totally ignored me but

They had to conduct this interview on one of the “Side Wings” (can be seen on the pic)

Something apparently MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than

The Right to Work Legally, Status, Appreciation, Respect and Safe Working Conditions ALWAYS

Of our approx 850 S.A. Sex Workers,

Not to mention the rights of “Us Males” to have 

To have PRIVATE, LEGAL, STIGMA FREE, EASILY ACCESSIBLE  access to

Our Safe, Clean, Discrete and Professional Sex Workers.

This booklet has not been printed or published anywhere, but I’m keen to get this into print/online, hopefully in Partnership with one of our Aussie Sex Work Alliances. Press the title below for some carefully selected pages. I’m happy to share/send the complete booklet to Media, M.P.’s and Sex Worker Organisations, so long as I know “Who” I am sending too, and for what reason they may want it.  

It wasn’t just because U called me Darling. Selected Pgs

I “sat” on the Steps of Parliament House in 2010/11, for 3 whole days from 8.15 am to 5.30 am with no Back-UP or support. One reason I was able to do this was my time spent Busking in the underground tunnels in London CBD, in 1973.

This cost me around $3,000 in Signs, Media Releases and 2 Large Submissions posted individually to all 68 M.P.

Kindly Note Well…

Around this time I created an AKA of earthangel181 which has allowed me to write my 3rd Book of Poems (currently unpublished)… am still looking for a publisher… called 

“It Wasn’t Just Because you Called Me Darling”

A Sweet of Poems for Sex Workers and their Clients

written by 

An OLD TIMER, Clumsy Hearted Rhymer.

earthangel181

On the 181 homepage you can find my complete 2nd Submission including the poem I wrote for ALL Sitting Members “Whose Body is a Whore’s?”

and 3 of my very first Brothel poems. 

Pls note,

I keep this AKA well away from my Suicide Prevention work as it has religious connotations. In reality,

I have NO RELIGION.

My community efforts, such as they may be, are powered partly by one special spot against ULURU, near the visitors car park. While walking alone (circa 2003), I suddenly felt this huge energy coming vertically down the side of the rock and into the ground below.

Knowing nothing about this energy, and being totally alone, I stripped off, and lay down for a short but very special time, and let it pass through me, and accumulate in my Body, Heart and Soul. It is with me now as I write, and I use it to create a rainbow of energy from ULUROO to myself and surrounds, and another which currently covers All of our most beautiful country, with an extra special “DOSE”

over Parliament House Canberra. 

It’s PURE POSITIVE, LOVING, CONSTRUCTIVE, UNIVERSAL, HEALING ENERGY
