A Sexpo event – a travelling “sexuality and adult lifestyle exhibition” held recently at Sydney’s Darling Harbour – attracted more than 50,000 attendees.
“Some of the exhibitors had their most profitable trading weekend in [the] last 10 years,” says Sexpo’s general manager, Rob Godwin. Many stalls at Sexpo sell sex toys; other desires were catered to at the event, with the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, where the event was held, experiencing a brisk trade in food and beverages, too, Godwin says.
His comments come at a time sex work in NSW has been described as the healthiest sex industry ever documented.

A Sydney man allegedly stole $1.3 million from Australia Post in a scam involving the sale of stamps and bulk mail, a court has heard.
Tim Alexander Greenland was the licensee of the Millers Point post office between 2001 and 2009 when the theft occurred, the Sydney District Court heard today.
Mr Greenland, who also owns an “erotic massage parlour“, pleaded guilty to one count of theft in November last year.
Sarah McNaughton, SC, for the Commonwealth DPP, said: “It is alleged that he pretended to sell stamps … He was getting reimbursed for stamp sales that he didn’t make.”

He would allegedly claim a 13 per cent commission from Australia Post for each stamp.

A TASKFORCE of police and immigration inspectors have raided Sydney brothels in the past month as part of a wide investigation into Asian women being trafficked into the sex industry.
Properties in Gladesville and Eastwood were targeted by a team of 18 investigators in a night operation on September 22. Both businesses – where at least 15 women worked – are suspected to have links to an organised crime gang based in Hong Kong.
The raids, which are part of an ongoing inquiry, come as figures obtained by the Herald show the issue of trafficking is a particular problem in NSW.
