Over the next two years, criminal laws associated with consensual adult sex work will be repealed in Victoria.

This will have implications for local government and how it carries out its roles in local law enforcement and public health management.

On a bonus edition of the Local Government News Roundup, Chris Eddy is joined by Matthew Roberts, Policy Advisor with the independent, non-partisan volunteer group, Sex Work Law Reform Victoria.
