 In the absence of reform, varying degrees of toleration have existed.The current legislation is the "Prostitution Act 2000", with some offences under the "Criminal Code", "Health Act" 1911 (addressing venereal diseases) and the "Liquor Control Act" 1988 (prohibiting a prostitute from being on licensed premises).Prostitution itself is legal, but many activities associated with it, such as pimping and running brothels, are illegal.
