A HOLE in Alice Springs' prostitution market could be filled by an agency looking to cash in on a mining boom with its own fly-in fly-out operation. Businesswoman Julie Partridge, 52, has applied for a licence to set up an agency that would bring sex workers in from Darwin or interstate on a two weeks on, two weeks off roster.

"I am very positive about an escort agency business in Alice Springs because of all the mining activity that is going on," she told the Northern Territory News.

Another businesswoman said she was approached by an interstate group looking to take advantage of the surge of male mine workers, who spent their working week "in a hole" and emerged with cash to burn and "one thing on their mind".

She said they were looking to set up a "Shag Bus" in a refurbished Winnebago to service horny clients up and down the Stuart Highway.between Alice and Tennant Creek.

"It's ... the Love Boat but on wheels," she said.

"It's quite clever - a new take on the phrase 'sex tourism'."

The idea that a mining boom was attracting sex industry entrepreneurs to Alice Springs came as no shock to NT Resources Council chief executive Scott Perkins.

"Well, the mining industry has a long history of supporting local businesses," he said.

"On top of mining, there are many drilling operations."

The NT Justice Department confirmed it was considering an escort agency manager licence application for Alice Springs.

If approved, it will be the only regulated and licensed agency in Alice Springs, with the sole existing agency operated by prominent local identity Tracey Randall (aka Minnie Maid) about to move to Cairns.

Did he really say that?

"On top of mining, there are many drilling operations."

Shag bus

[Cenovis]

To or that is the question

or this may be a solution too

[Thaiguy]

Can't wait to see which "pollies" jump on the wagon for or against?
Tony Blabbit would be against condoms with his Catholic background and Captain Crudd would be waiting to see if any are illegals he needs to support?

[JoeMoer]

Wonder which pollie will use the service?

[Bangyai]

A "Shag Bus", classy lot these Aussies.

What's wrong with the local women. Plenty of young indigenous lasses up there willing to play the didgeridoo for price of an aerosol can/rag dipped in gasoline.

[peter000]

Scary thought, CM, have you seen any of them recently?

[Chairman Mao]

Not for about 8 years no.

Aren't most, women shaving this off in an effort to fit in with the new, " ..Must have look," which is pre-pubescence ?

[jandajoy]

LOTS............

Well written. "Drilling operations"

The premise isn't new though..in Canada the girls go on 'road shows' from city to city and advertise on their Websites the "tour dates".

"Super hot Cherry is coming to Edmonton and Calgary - Sept 15 -20. She's taking bookings on line or call her on ..."etc

While prostitution is illegal there - it seems to be the solicitation that is against the law...so as long as they don't come right out and say "blowjobs $50, Full Sex $150" etc, then it seems the police tolerate it.
The ads are in mainstream newspapers too - GFE (girlfriend experience) and PSE (took me a while to figure that out - "pornstar experence" -- do you get the DVD too, me thinks?)

The local women prefer to get off with a stubby full of blowies.
