The mandated review into the 2017 Sexual offenses act was due three years after the legislation was implemented. This act made it a criminal offence to purchase sex, along with other regulations which made it harder for prostitutes to work together in safety. The individual in charge of the review has left the project. The review is now over three years late. SWAI are concerned the review is out of date and want the process to be started afresh. Linda Kavanagh of SWAI said "Despite numerous requests for information on the process, the report’s mechanisms remained opaque.
Linda states the review must have meaningful engagement with sex workers, and is troubled by the lack of transparency in the process.
