Description

A prostitute stands on the steps of the 'House of Pleasure' - 'Gentlemen's Retreat' and tells a reporter that her landlord has gone in to politics and that she would like to apologise to all of their patrons for 'being associated with that seedy industry'. Refers to new Act MP Hilary Calvert [who] says she has no criminal skeletons in her closet, but she has admitted that a brothel is run from one of her investment properties. The reference to skeletons in cupboards is to her predecessor David Garrett who admitted to having stolen a dead baby's identity to forge a passport - he was the ACT spokesman for law and order.
