Brothel Licensing Laws...and who is checking Kings Cross

LICENSED BROTHELS

Brothel licensees, managers and employed prostitutes are subject to various legal obligations in respect of the operation and health and safety of a brothel. Many of the operational offences under the Act confer joint and several liability upon the prostitute, together with the brothel licensee and manager.

Staffing Limits

A brothel licensee may only provide prostitution from the premises named in the licence. All licensed brothels must be situated in a building. The brothel itself may contain no more that 5 working rooms.

A maximum of 10 staff may be at the brothel at any one time, and of these staff only 1 prostitute may be present in any room used for prostitution. It is an offence to contravene any of these rules, the maximum penalty for which is $15,000.00 or 5 years imprisonment.

Importantly, a brothel licensee or approved manager must be personally present to supervise the operation of the brothel at all times while the brothel is open for business. Infringement of the personal supervision rule can evoke a sanction of up to $4,500.00 or 6 months imprisonment.

Associates of Licensees

Brothel licensees are prohibited from carrying on business in partnership or association with an unlicensed person and may only have an interest in one licensed brothel.

The term “in association with” connotes that both persons are in direct receipt of income or profits from the brothel. Again, the maximum penalty for both offences stands at $15,000.00 or 5 years imprisonment.

Prohibition on Liquor

It is also against the law for any person to possess, store, distribute or sell liquor from a licensed brothel. If liquor is found at a brothel, both the person found with the liquor and the licensee or approved manager commit an offence. In such circumstances all persons are subject to a maximum penalty of $3,000.00.

Duties of the Prostitution Licensing Authority

Strict disclosure requirements bind licensees in relation to statements made and/or documents provided to the Prostitution Licensing Authority. If a brothel licensee makes a statement or provides a document, to the Authority, which is false or misleading, he or she commits an offence punishable by a fine of up to $7,500.00.

Licence Display

A licensee must display the brothel licence in a conspicuous place inside the front entrance of the brothel, and/or produce it to the police upon request. To fail to do so is an offence, and may incur maximum fines of $7,500.00 and $750.00 respectively.

Police Powers

The legislation also creates new police powers which provide for entry and inspection of brothels at any time, and without the need for a search warrant. If police exercise their power of entry, a brothel licensee/manager is obliged to give their name, address and age; produce all documents and things; and provide all reasonable assistance to the officers.

The licensee/manager’s duty to provide identifying particulars extends to the age and identifying particulars of any person at the brothel whom the police suspect is a minor. A maximum fine of $1,500.00 may attach to non-compliance by a licensee or individual.

Nuisance

Brothel licensees are specifically bound by the law of nuisance and duress in respect of the operation of their brothel. If, as a result of providing prostitution services at the brothel, another person or persons suffer unreasonable annoyance or disruption to their privacy, the licensee of the brothel commits an offence.

A first offence of nuisance connected with prostitution carries a maximum penalty of $1,125.00, with a second offence carrying a maximum penalty of $1,875.00.

Intimidation of Prostitutes

It is also illegal for a person to make another person continue to provide prostitution by way of intimidation, harassment, false representation, pretence, fraudulent means, or threats of injury or damage. Any person found guilty of causing duress by these means may face a penalty of $15,000.00 or 7 years imprisonment.

Health Issues

From a health and safety standpoint, prostitutes employed at licensed brothels are required to undergo regular health checks for sexually transmitted diseases.

The licensee has a concomitant duty not to allow a prostitute to work during any period in which they are infective with a sexually transmitted disease. In the event that a brothel licensee knowingly permits an infected prostitute to continue to work, the licensee commits an offence punishable by a maximum fine of $9,000.00.

In the same circumstances the infected prostitute is liable to a fine of $7,500.00. Moreover, any licensee or prostitute who induces clients to believe that the prostitute is not infective simply because they undergo regular medical examinations, commits an offence punishable by a maximum fine of $3,000.00.

It is illegal for a brothel licensee or manager to discourage the use of condoms or allow sexual intercourse or oral sex at the brothel without a condom. Both offences carry a maximum penalty of $9,000.00 respectively.

Any prostitute or client who provides or obtains prostitution involving sexual intercourse or oral sex without a condom commits an offence punishable by a fine of up to $7,500.00. It is also against the law for a client to misuse or damage a condom, or continue to use a condom which they know is damaged. The maximum penalty for the latter offence is $7,500.00.

Advertising

Strict guidelines apply to the advertising of prostitution under the Act. It is illegal for a licensee to publish an advertisement which describes the business as being connected with massage services or which contains statements that may induce persons to become prostitutes.

Both types of advertisements may incur a penalty of $3,000.00. Brothel advertisements must be in an approved form, not describe the prostitution services offered, and only be published in the print media. All these advertising offences involve a maximum penalty of $3,000.00.

APPLYING FOR A BROTHEL LICENCE

To be eligible to be considered for a brothel licence you must pay an application fee and a licence fee, and satisfy certain criteria prescribed in the Act. Certain persons are ineligible for a brothel licence. Corporations, insolvents, minors, liquor licensee’s, ‘unsuitable’ persons and persons convicted of certain ‘disqualifying’ offences are among those prohibited from holding a licence.

The disqualifying offences include rape, corruption, abduction, kidnapping, money laundering, drug trafficking, demanding property by threat, prostitution offences and crimes against morality involving children and/or intellectually impaired persons.

Eligible persons must apply to the Prostitution Licensing Authority (“the Authority”), in the approved form, and pay a prescribed application fee and annual licence fee. At the time of writing, licence fees are yet to be set by regulation.

Currently, it is suggested that prospective licensees will be required to pay an application fee of $1,000.00, an annual licence fee of $5,000.00, together with further fees of between $6,000.00 and $10,000.00, which further fees will relate to the number of rooms in a brothel and other factors yet to be published by the Authority.

The form of application should be found within the Prostitution Regulations. All applications must disclose certain details about the proposed brothel arrangement, in particular:

• whether the brothel will be run in partnership or association with another person and, if so, the other person’s identifying particulars;
• the proposed name and address of the brothel premises;
• the name, address, occupation and date of birth of the owner of the brothel premises; and
• the names, addresses, occupations and dates of birth of all ‘associates’ of the applicant.

A person is your ‘associate’ if he or she is:

• over 18 years of age;
• a member of your immediate family;
• has entered into a business arrangement with you for the provision of prostitution; and/or
• the sole or joint owner or lessor of the proposed brothel premises.

Applicants must also consent to having all or any of their identifying particulars taken by the Authority or police. ‘Identifying particulars’ include finger, palm, voice and footprints, as well as handwriting specimens.

If, before the application is decided, you realise that any of the information contained within your application has changed, you must within 10 days furnish the Authority with particulars of the change(s). You may withdraw your application at any time before the licence is issued. If you do withdraw your application, the Authority must refund the licence fee, and may agree to refund some or all of the application fee.

THE LICENCE APPROVAL PROCESS

Once you have lodged a licence application it will be transferred to the Commissioner of the Prostitution Authority for consideration. In considering the application the Commissioner is required to make all appropriate inquiries about you, in particular with respect to your criminal history.

In so doing the Commissioner can direct you to provide all or any of your identifying particulars. After considering your application the Commissioner must prepare a report to the Authority which may include recommendations.

The Authority must reject your application for a licence if:

• you have a previous conviction for operating of a brothel in Queensland or elsewhere;
• you have an interest in another licensed brothel;
• you hold a liquor permit or licence;
• the combined total of licensed brothels in the locality of your proposed brothel would substantially affect the character of that locality; and/or
• you are not a ‘suitable person’ to operate a licensed brothel.

In determining whether or not you are a ‘suitable person’ to hold a brothel licence, the Authority will look to:

• your reputation, character, honesty and integrity;
• whether you have any prior criminal convictions, in particular for an indictable offence and/or a sex offence involving violence, intimidation, threats, or children;
• whether you are an associate of a person or company who has been convicted of a disqualifying or indictable offence, or holds a liquor licence;
• whether you have access to the financial resources necessary to ensure the continued viability of the brothel;
• whether you will implement health and safety mechanisms for the protection of the prostitutes employed at the brothel;
• whether you will implement a business structure sufficiently transparent to allow all your associates to be identified.

The Authority has the power to conduct all appropriate inquiries about any aspect of the application and to seek advice and information from any entity. In so doing the Authority may require you to produce any further information which it deems relevant.

Your application will lapse if you fail to provide the information within 14 days. Moreover, the Authority is not required to conduct a hearing to decide whether or not to grant the licence and may grant a licence with or without restrictions or conditions.

If you do receive a licence you must only operate one brothel per licence at the premises named in the licence. The way in which you carry on the brothel must be in accordance with the conditions or restrictions stipulated in the licence document.

All brothel licences are limited in so far as they are granted for a term of 1 year, are personal to the licensee, are not transferable, and do not vest by law.

The Authority has the right to cancel or alter your licence, or add, change or revoke any conditions or restrictions which attach to it. The Authority may also require you to surrender, renew or produce your licence for endorsement.

If you become aware of any change(s) in the details given in your licence application, you must give the Authority written notice of the change(s) within 10 days.

Your licence will be automatically cancelled if you are convicted of an indictable or disqualifying offence, or become insolvent, or provide misleading or deceptive information to the Authority.

Furthermore, the Authority may take disciplinary action against a licensee if the licensee, or a person with an interest in the brothel under the licence, is:

• charged or convicted of an offence against the Act, in particular an offence involving a penalty of imprisonment; or
• operating the brothel contrary to the conditions/restrictions of the licence, or in a generally unacceptable manner.

If disciplinary grounds exist, the Authority may:

• reprimand the licensee;
• impose a fine of up to $10,125.00;
• compel the licensee to perform an act or comply with a requirement;
• suspend or cancel the licence.

If you are merely charged with an offence, as opposed to being convicted of an offence, the Authority can only suspend your licence. Also, you may request that the Authority conducts a formal inquiry in respect of all disciplinary proceedings taken against you.

Chauncey Holt at JFK assassination

Within the mythology, three Musketeers are represented within the plot for the Golden Scorpion.

Where the three C's in a row the connection and in reality it was just for the black magicK to happen.

Have a note, the CIA Handler was known as a Bank of Fullerton of California?  Was this a link where many of the CIA Handlers were not with the CIA at all?

The Infamous 3 Tramps: Charles Rodgers, Charles Harrelson and Chauncey Holt (CIA radio in paper sack) The radio transceiver was supplied to Holt by his CIA handler, Phillip A. Twombly, president of the Bank of Fullerton, in California. The hand-held transceiver was state of the art, made by ICOM, and Holt was provided with two frequency channels, of the Dallas PD, to monitor the motorcade.

Australia Day I submitted Suspicious Minds research to Federal Police.

I put my findings into the Federal Police in Australia.  I have linked the alleged John F. Kennedy assassination with allegedly a criminal gang from around the world.  I have shown within many of my emails regarding this criminal gang to the Police in NSW a system they utilise to cause confusion at the scene of the crime.

Many of you I agree with.  We have to I will allege look at who gained the most.  I then at the end have listed these people to my knowledge.  Allegedly Richard Nixon, Ruth Paine her father, Michael Paine his step father with Bell Helicopters and then you look for people who have died of old age within this gang who were around Dealey Plaza and never mentioned within the reports at all.  This person came into my research early on as I started to expose this gang from 2009.  Allegedly Maurice Bernard Houghton who came to Australia Kings Cross.  In both Dallas and Kings Cross he ran the B & B Restaurant Dallas, and Beef and Bourbon Kings Cross however he was involved with the Nugan Hand Bank in Australia and the alleged money laundrying which occurred.
The number one business product which escalated after the assassination of JFK is the alleged drug network I will allege is the winner who earnt the most by the Vietnam War and is still churning away in Kings Cross night and day and many other places around the  world.  Really to stop the assassinations of leaders, even the 9/11 tragedy we have to consider the power this gang has with the alleged drugs and money they get through vice, extortion, fraud and the gun trafficking around the world.  This by my research links to the Nigeria Scams working out of Florida Spring Hill I noted to the Police back in July 2012 and still happening today with the connections through allegedly Western Union Bank to Nigeria and other positions.

I do hope, the Australian Government take me seriously thou my work is a novel, if I utilised without the understanding of the Occult it would be hard to unravel this twisted game this gang plays is allegedly murder.

Nostradamus prophecies....The Kings Cross Sting exposes

Prophecies of Nostradamus

Michel de Nostredame (14 December or 21 December 1503 – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (“The Prophecies”), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events.

Prophecies of Nostradamus

Those at ease will suddenly be cast down, the world put into trouble by three brothers; their enemies will seize the marine city, hunger, fire, blood, plague, all evils doubled.
At forty-five degrees the sky will burn, Fire to approach the great new city: In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, When one will want to demand proof of the Normans.
For forty years the rainbow will not be seen.
For forty years it will be seen every day.
The dry earth will grow more parched,
and there will be great floods when it is seen.
For several nights the earth will tremble:
In the spring two efforts in succession:
Corinth, Ephesus will swim in the two seas:
War stirred up by two valiant in combat.
New, impetuous and sudden rain
Will suddenly halt two armies.
Celestial stone, fires make the sea stony,
The death of seven by land and sea sudden.
After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared
The Great Mover renews the ages:
Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel and plague,
Is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.
The ‘great cow’ at Racenna in great trouble, Led by fifteen shut up at Fornase: At Rome there will be born two double-headed monsters, Blood, fire, flood, the greatest ones in space.
Very near Auch, Lectoure and Mirande
a great fire will fall from the sky for three nights.
The cause will appear both stupefying and marvellous;
shortly afterwards there will be an earthquake.
Earthshaking fire from the centre of the earth
will cause tremors around the New City.
Two great rocks will war for a long time,
then Arethusa will redden a new river.
A thing existing without any senses
will cause its own end to happen through artifice.
At Autun, Chalan, Langres and the two Sens
there will be great damage from hail and ice.
The sloping park great calamity
To be done through Hesperia and Insubria:
The fire in the ship, plague and captivity,
Mercury in Sagittarius Saturn will fade.
Through fire from the sky the city almost burned:
The Urn threatens Deucalion again:
Sardinia vexed by the Punic foist,
After Libra will leave her Phaethon.
At sunrise one will see a great fire,
Noise and light extending towards ‘Aquilon:’
Within the circle death and one will hear cries,
Through steel, fire, famine, death awaiting them.
One whom neither plague nor steel knew how to finish,
Death on the summit of the hills struck from the sky:
The abbot will die when he will see ruined
Those of the wreck wishing to seize the rock.
Burning torch will be seen in the sky at night
Near the end and beginning of the Rhone:
Famine, steel: the relief provided late,
Persia turns to invade Macedonia.
The populous places will be uninhabitable:
Great discord to obtain fields:
Realms delivered to prudent incapable ones:
Then for the great brothers dissension and death.
There will be unleashed live fire, hidden death, Horrible and frightful within the globes, By night the city reduced to dust by the fleet, The city afire, the enemy amenable.
At the forty-eigth climacteric degree, At the end of Cancer very great dryness: Fish in sea, river, lake boiled hectic, Bigorre in distress through fire from the sky.
In a short time the temples with colors of white and black of the two intermixed: Red and yellow ones will carry off theirs from them, Blood, land, plague, famine, fire extinguished by water.
Condom and Auch and around Mirande, I see fire from the sky which encompasses them. Sun and Mars conjoined in Leo, then at Marmande, lightning, great hail, a wall falls into the Garonne.
From the sky will come a great King of Terror: To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.
In the year that Saturn and Mars shall be fiery,
The air shall be very dry in many countries,
By secret fires, many places shall be burnt with heat,
There shall be scarcity of rain, hot winds, wars, wounds.
When twenty years of the Moon’s reign have passed
another will take up his reign for seven thousend years.
When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle
then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished.

In shape, it was most like a wine-jar, and in colour, like molten silver." Plutarch reports the shape of the object as like a wine-jar (pithos). The apparently silvery object was reported by both armies.	[2][3]	1

They say when they investigated it, "a beautiful young woman" they described as having red and white hair and dressed in strange clothes appeared. The fisherman claim she held a square box "that no one was allowed to touch" and she spoke to them in a language they never heard before.

Different studies have yielded varying estimates of the object's size, with general agreement that it was a few tens of metres across. The Tunguska event is the largest impact event over land in Earth's recent history. Impacts of similar size over remote ocean areas would most likely have gone unnoticed before the advent of global satellite monitoring in the 1960s and 1970s.
