Infuriated at the high cost of advertising in local newspapers, those involved in the flesh trade in Australia have planned to express their anger and resentment by resorting to an agitation. A spokesperson said that they are discriminated against and have to pay more for advertising their services in local newspapers when compared to those of other trades. They would protest outside the New South Wales parliament on the World Whores Day. The agitators belong to the Scarlet Alliance and would be dressed in red and carry red umbrellas. It may be noted that sex work is legal in NSW.
