Really Go Down Under

Congratulations to Sydney's Stiletto on the multi-million-dollar green light to expand their brothel.  Now more people than ever can say "dingos ate my baby" with a smile...

Plans to double the number of rooms at the Australian complex were delayed last year by the city council on the grounds that it was too big (pun intended?), but the owners won an appeal in the Land and Environment court this week, allowing more than $12 million in construction (including a wing for group bookings).

Stiletto promotes itself as "the world's finest short-stay boutique hotel...and Sydney brothel". Its standard hourly rate of $370 (Aussie dollars) includes room, lady of choice and beverages. It is open 24 hours year round, except for Christmas Day, because even places that have group bookings respect the birth of Christ).  They boast a mixed clientele. which includes "top-end celebrities including movie stars, sportspeople and rock bands", but I'm sure there's a big drop of from Russel Crowe and INXS to whomever they're referring to.

Prostitution in Australia is governed by state and territory laws, allowing brothels to operate legally in certain parts of the country.  Meanwhile, Aboriginal rights are still being sought...I guess some people can fuck under the law, and others get fucked because of it.
