Wow…
A third stripper named Melody, who was also fired from Calendar Girls, dedicated her speech to MPs.
“Sex workers are keepers of a menagerie of secrets. We value discretion – so we don’t name names – but we know just how many members of this Parliament and other government officials from across the political spectrum frequent our establishments. And I’m certain that you all have a hunch too,” she said.
“So, dear MPs, to know your colleagues are accessing our services and then to turn around and act as if this has nothing to do with you is both wildly hypocritical and deeply irresponsible.”
…threatening to out Politicians who use sex workers if those sex workers don’t get what they want is an extraordinary militant approach to win over public support.
Who on earth is advising this movement and do they appreciate threatening Politicians in this manner will turn this debate backwards?
It’s like the opening gambit of any identity politics action is eye gouging followed by demands of no eye gouging.
This is Today FM level self mutilation.

Wow. Surprised. And here’s me thinking all politicians were wankers.
We were paying Shane Jones to.
that can be regarded as a team sport as well, for the purposes of clarity ..
LOL
as prostitution is legal it’s like saying we will name people who buy cabbage…now if you’re talking hypocrites that’s different thing….watch out for pissed pants in the national bunker
It will be labor MPs.
‘Labor’ ?
LaboUr dear. We’re not a state of the limp-dick Union yet. ( Or are we…? )
Tedheath. Correct. National MP’s are too busy shagging each other.
or the nats shagging the flag which they neither honour or respect
National have history tedheath, pull yourself together(so to speak)…

They really are preverts, I don’t find Simeon attractive at all.
Does anyone?????
Please Ted. We know that’s a joke. There seems invariably to be a link between conservatives and women who choose to make a living from a very receptive market. The saying “flogged harder than a Tory minister” didn’t just fall out of the sky.
It will be both
Absolutely gagarin prostitution is legal therefore there’s nothing here.
Does bring new meaning to the term ‘internal polling’ though.
except for hypocracy bob the last, take a good family man who supports family values and a return to a christian society also supporting strippers with his parliamentary expenses is a tad hypocritical if they lie about that what lies do they tell to get into the beehive?
The threat to name MPs tells us that the prostitutes themselves, and the MPs who are concerned about potential revelations, know that prostitution is wrong. If it’s something you don’t want others to know about and if you wouldn’t ever want your own daughter to engage in that line of work, then this clearly reveals the moral status of prostitution.
That’s a bit of a dated view and a huge generalisation.
Martyn – Get out the popcorn!
I hope there will at least 50% of female pollys caught up in this sticky mess if at all it’s real??
What’s his name? That ex-National party member, Jamie ex-whip mental dude, political donations scandal come pimp?
Anyways. Let’s hope it’s a good juicy story that involves as many politicians from all quarters. The left and the right and everywhere in between.
Taking a leaf out of Shaneel’s book I imagine. Cancel culture, targeting others, flamboyant demands and copious bad language seems to have worked for them.
Fantail. Bad language didn’t seem to work for Marama, nor her cancellation of lighter hued males.
Auntie Iris: Marama is not oppressed enough and her target is too big for the attempt to work. She is oppressed enough to keep her job.
Well you certainly would never catch me in bed with a politician. Not for all the tea in China.
I wouldn’t even vote for most of them.
Urinalbushrat. All the tea in China ? The tea ? Think that the Chinese gentlemen who own the strip joints and brothels archive their cctv records in the interests of historical accuracy ? Me neither.
It’s quite a relief ( no double entendre intended) to learn that there are some real men in Parliament. I would never have guessed it. It’s time they started thinking about people other than themselves though.
What? You are a ‘real man’ if you go to strip joints?
Sex workers exploited!
Why am I not shocked and surprised?
Green MP’s are like heat seeking missles when it comes to bad photo op’s. Is it part of their training? Jan Logie joins Blackmail protest…
Should’ve had Jamie Lee Ross photo National MPs are just on heat.
Outing is an unusual tactic in an industrial dispute for sure.
But really Parliamentary staff, MPs, & journalists are pre-eminent intimidators, leakers, toppers and outers as the record shows. The sex workers are giving them a taste of their own medicine.
One of the oldest professions in the world. Looked down upon by most of society, a precarious existence prostituting yourself to lobbyists and business. What parent would want their child to grow up to be a politician or government official?
As for adult workers, while I fear their tactics might backfire, they do have a point.
Im sure a few partners of the individuals involved would like to know too.
