 Reform was suggested in 1997, with the formation of a working group, and a "Prostitution Control Bill" was drafted in 1999 but not enacted till the "Prostitution Act 2000".The latter dealt principally with street soliciting, offences involving children in relation to prostitution, advertising and sponsorship.Under the new Australian Labor Party (ALP) Government of Geoff Gallop, elected in 2001, several prostitution Bills were introduced.
