After that, she’ll go straight into a two-month run in Truck Stop, a new play by award-winning playwright Lachlan Philpott debuting in May at Sydney’s Q Theatre Company. It’s roughly based on the true story of two high school girls who dabble in prostitution, which Tovey, who plays one of the girls, laughingly admits, “doesn’t sound like a very fun story”.
“But there’s a lot of joy in it, as well as showing the darker side of these girls’ lives. It’s more of a comment on what kind of world young women are growing up in.

Tovey describes her own childhood as “incredibly lucky and wonderful”. She grew up in Sydney’s inner west, with her mum, author Libby Gleeson; dad Euan Tovey, a medical research scientist; and two elder sisters, Amelia and Josephine. “We’re very strong, loud women,” she says.

SHOULD Sydney police be in the business of deciding who runs a strip club in Kings Cross? The liquor regulator thinks not.

The authority warned giving police the unprecedented power to influence hiring at the Darlinghurst Road establishment may ”potentially compromise” officers and reopen the door to ”official corruption” in Sydney’s vice district.

The move against Show Girls – which is owned by the Kings Cross identity Michael Koutra – stemmed from the arrest last year of the strip club’s manager and bouncer for allegedly dealing cocaine from the premises.

In the aftermath of the cocaine arrests, Kings Cross police moved to slap 14 new licence conditions on the Show Girls licensee, Cathie Downie, a single mother from western Sydney who police say is on the premises just three nights a week, from Sunday to Tuesday.

KYLE Sandilands stubs out his cigarette and climbs down from the smokers’ roof. It’s his 40th birthday and the staff on 2DayFM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show have been encouraged to help him celebrate.
Sandilands – or King Kyle, as he’s sometimes called – has already been given a gold throne and a gold-and-red velvet crown. His studio has been decorated with crystal vases filled with gold beads and tasselled throw cushions. Now it’s time for the entertainment. First, newsreader Emma Duxbury emerges from a little cubicle wearing a near-transparent white bikini and clear heels, and spreads her legs wide around a gold stripper’s pole that has been erected in front of Kyle’s face. Next, there is a pink cake shaped like a woman’s breasts with the nipples bouncing on springs. Sandilands licks his lips and grins, and then heads back to the roof for another ciggie.

In late 1985, Kalajzich asked his disco manager Warren James Elkins to obtain a weapon for him because he felt threatened. Elkins, whose only criminal record comprised a juvenile conviction for theft, obliged, and provided Kalajzich with three weapons. Kalajzich then told him he needed to ”bump someone off”. Elkins, who was in awe of Kalajzich, contacted a Kings Cross prostitute who ”knew someone”, but the man did not appear at a rendezvous. Elkins then contacted a friend, Trevor Hayden, who shared a flat with Franciscus Wilhelmus (Bill) Vandenberg, a sometime grocer and foundry worker. Hayden asked Vandenberg if he knew anyone, and Vandenberg in turn asked Kerry Neil Orrock, at Kurri Kurri, in the Hunter Valley, if he knew anyone. Orrock put him onto a reputed hitman, George Canellis, otherwise known as Noel Sherry.

Australia’s laneway bar landscape first emerged in Melbourne, fostered by ample narrow, winding lanes in the the central business district and an easing of laws on small bar operation. By the early naughts a lively network of tucked away bars had emerged, all with their own idiosyncratic style and cocktail agendas, but almost all sharing that enduring speakeasy legacy, the hidden entrance. In 2010 Eau de Vie opened in Sydney, mining a similarly discrete entrance style (an unmarked door tucked away in the back lobby of the Kirketon hotel 229 Darlinghurst Road) front loaded with heavy duty cocktail sophistication, a gentlemen’s club atmosphere and luxurious, meticulously crafted cocktails. The equivalent bar in New York or London would likely be rather formal or even a bit grim in its cocktail erudition and Prohibition era drag, the staff at EDV displays that Aussie bonhomie and refusal to take themselves too seriously that cuts through all that fussiness, making the bar so very pleasant to spend time in.

SYDNEY call girl Madison Ashton, who goes by her professional nom de plume, Christine McQueen, when she’s ”on duty”, has been left with a legal bill estimated at $500,000 following the failure of her $10 million lawsuit against the estate of late billionaire and client Richard Pratt. She was reportedly seen leaving her apartment in Woolloomooloo on Monday and was not present when her lawsuit was being dismissed in the Supreme Court. PS can report she has been taking bookings all week for her variety of, ahem, services, for which she charges $1500 an hour. Interestingly, McQueen’s hourly rate is roughly the same as Sydney’s top barristers, but with the promise of a much happier ending than Ashton faced this week. Ashton has remained silent about her story, so far, but PS hears that may be about to change.

MORE than 500 Sydney prostitutes are offering unprotected sex to clients, raising fears they may be contributing to the spread of sexually transmissible infections.

The study by sex industry consulting firm Brothel Busters has found 507 sex workers are offering oral sex with no protection at both legal and illegal premises in Sydney.

The laws in other states are much tougher. In Victoria and Queensland, for example, it is against the law for prostitutes and owners of licensed premises to offer unsafe oral sex.

“The 507 prostitutes identified could be seeing up to 10 clients a week, which means up to 5000 Sydney men each week could be exposed to STIs,” he said. “The question is, are these punters then going home to their wives and girlfriends and potentially spreading the problem further?”
