Finally!

I just hope he's a man of his word (at least in this matter): "I hate to say it, but I've given up,"

I just wonder whether "the work was still pouring in" as he says, given the track record.


A Sydney consultancy that investigates illegal brothels and triggered an Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry, has closed down because there is no longer a system to prosecute rogue operators.

For almost 10 years, Brothel Busters conducted surveillance on behalf of councils and the legal brothel industry. Its work saw more than 60 brothel closure orders issued across 16 council areas. However, the agency's owner, Chris Seage, confirmed he had been forced to "call time" on the operation because there is now "no viable legal avenue" to shut parlours.

"I have made this decision in light of the election result last Saturday," he said. "Unfortunately it is just too hard to close illegal brothels when you are dealing with a government that doesn't care."

Mr Seage said although work was still "pouring in", he had told clients it would be wrong to continue accepting work when there was no legal framework to use the evidence.

"I hate to say it, but I've given up," he said.

I wonder if he will compensate all those shops who have been fined because of his invalid evidence?

Can't blame him though, if there was a market for his service then he is well within his right to have a go ?
