    New Zealand girls!

    "Prostitutes use these street sign poles as dancing poles," said Donna Lee, an elected member of the city council's Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board.

    "The poles are part of their soliciting equipment and they often snap them.

    "Some of the prostitutes are big, strong people."


    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    Part of the area Ms Lee represents is Hunter's Corner, which has become notorious as a meeting place for prostitutes and their customers.
    Bernie Taylor, a local resident, said: "We had a parcel delivered to us recently and the address was 'Hooker's Corner' and it found its way to us with no problems whatsoever."


    Prostitution is legal in NZ but the part of town they are talking about is not a part of town I would recommend visiting at night. Or during the daytime either.

        No. It's a perfectly legal way to make a living. It was decriminalised about ten years ago.

        There are people now objecting to street soliciting which in theory should be unnecessary because brothels are legal. The area mentioned in the story though is populated mainly by people of Polynesian origin on low incomes or benefits so probably don't have the resources to set one up, or don't care.

        EDIT: They probably just want to pay for the service without having to pay for the surroundings.
