In 2005 a Melbourne based journalist befriended a particular community of non-English speaking
background sex workers and sex worker advocates in Australia. The journalist expressed interest in
documenting the HIV/AIDS prevention work and high condom use among sex workers in Australia, and
using the documentation for policy purposes to promote sex worker rights in an Asia-Pacific country. The
particular sex worker community, sex worker advocates, their sex worker organisation and AIDS Council
were formally approached by the journalists company, and permission was granted for the journalist to
interview the sex workers and sex worker advocates. Release forms were signed by the sex workers, and
verbal agreement of identity concealment precautions was made. The journalist spent extensive time
hosted by the sex workers, sex worker organisation and AIDS Council, interviewing staff, advocates and
sex workers for the documentary. Copies of the footage, and approval of the material was promised to the
sex workers involved. However this was never forthcoming.
