I know there is an interjection opposite but the reality is that brothels do exist. At least we understand what they are doing. They are not as offensive to the eye, I would suggest, as some of these billboards. You see a similar thing when you go to a newspaper shop. Lots of young kids go to newspaper shops. Newspapers have competitions where they encourage kids to collect dinosaurs and those sorts of things. Obviously there are parts of newspaper shops where you do not want kids to go. Some publications are covered up but there are also quite confronting ads out the front of newspapers shops. I am not a prude. I have been accused of being lots of things in this parliament but being a prude is not one of them.
