That deal still holds Calum! The USA looks upon brothels as direct funders of drug traffickers because that is where a huge chunk of the that change ends up.

The cycle of exploitation affects the children of prostitutes who are much more likely to take drugs as well.

The pimp and drug trafficker are in the exact same business of harming people and ruining young lives to the extent they share the same pile of dirty money each in their turn.

Are you going to post the 'evidence' you kept relying upon but didn't quite get around to showing?

Find me one clandestine Swedish brothel on the eb and I will find some NZ brothels and we will see which country has the most pimps.

Your pimp infested jurisdiction obviously has many more brothels than Norway, Finland and Sweden combined.

The pimps and their supporters went out drinking to celebrate their win after that legislation was passed.

Pimping isn't against the law in New Zealand.....so it's just a name you're giving to this particular type of employer.
You probably intend it to be laden with much negative meaning....but it doesn't translate.....because under NZ law, the operator of a brothel can no longer brutalise and intimidate his employees.
Besides....there are enough female-run brothels in NZ that no working girl has to put up with bad behaviour by a brothel operator.
These people advertise daily in the newspapers for girls. The girls have some power becasue they are a rare commodity - compared to people who work at McDonalds, for example.

The dictionary definition remains unchanged and most people give it the same name, the legislation did not amend the dictionary or UN definition as far as I am aware.

If New Zealand were to also make child pornography legal, the dictionary definition would similarly remain and child pornography would still be frowned upon in the UK and Sweden etcetera in much the same way as pimping is frowned upon.

In the USA pimping is related to an increae in drug trafficking beause the same individuals are frequently involved in bot activities and because the women being prostituted are very frequently a cash cow for drug syndicates.

The British Home Secretary recently gave a speech at an event sponsored by Coalition for the Removal of Pimping and his position was that pimps were very dangerous criminals.

The 'Denying the Pimp' conference was on Friday 27th June 2003, 10.30am to 4.00pm, Thackray Medical Museum, Leeds and the Keynote Speaker was The Rt Hon David Blunkett MP the Home Secretary.

He was never allowed to do that and so the legal principle of prohibition has not actually changed one iota and there is no immediate reason to suspect that the prosecution rate will improve after recent tinkering with the coercion aspects. tHe law againt pimping was recently used to prosecute a sex predator in New Zealand. That law has now been repealed.

Pimp From Wikipedia.
A male manager of a brothel is called a pimp; a female brothel manager is known as a madam.

Street prostitutes may or may not have a pimp. The relationship between pimp and prostitute is often abusive.

Pimps often target vulnerable women and young girls who have run away from home, initially offering themselves as lovers or father-figures.
After introducing their victims to prostitution, they often use beatings and drug addiction to maintain their victim's dependency.

Pimps are also commonly low-echelon drug dealers.
Pimping is a sex crime in many jusrisdictions. In 1949, the United Nations adopted a convention stating that prostitution is incompatible with human dignity, requiring all signing parties to punish pimps and brothel owners and operators, and to abolish all special treatment or registration of prostitutes. The convention was ratified by 89
countries with the notable exception of Germany, the Netherlands and the United States.

"I will do a deal with you, post *all* of the contents of the two Swedish emails and this is my last post to this NG. I am pretty darn sure you will not rise to the challenge."

Dear Ange,

Calum did not accept the offer and only posted the edited highlights, none of which actually supported his confusing arguments However if he did want to post the full emails than that might be a different issue.

However he declined to take that route. A 'deal' is a bit like the CEDAW treaty, it is a contract requiring more than one actor to go with the idea.
I shall probably be working on the PRB campaign for the next two years.

I made the offer on 17/6/03 before the vote. Calum has to my knowledge still not posted the emails and even if he did it was a pre-vote offer. He obviously didn't feel his 'research' measured up.

He seemed to think the emails contained important evidence of something. I knew he was bluffing. I always knew his alleged evidence simply didn't measure up. No Swedish official ever sent him anything which supported his arguments.

Kind regards
Gregory

okay, clearly you are not an honorable person, you think you can change the terms of a deal retrospectively. Calum has posted the full contents of both emails and you are still here. You have no credibility or integrity, therefore you cannot contribute meaningfully to debate. Go away.

As proven, the one with multiple personalities- Gregory/Greagoir/lisieux/Cadiz/ICATW is indeed a
liar. I did post the entire text of the e-mails. I even posted parts of a (47 page) report not
asked for.

OTOH, he has lied, misrepresented many things, misrepresented himself, proven he is a fraud,

committed so many "substantive errors of fact" in virtually every posting so that I lost count- and
it should be remembered that he has claimed that he rarely makes substantive errors of fact (and
there are at least two in his posting above)- and has now proven he is without honour and does not
intend to keep his word.

I never saw his offer- it was under one of his many personalities that I had killfiled.


He's a fuckwit. What I said earlier, using language that was used in the royal courts of Scotland
and England stands.

Greagoir (Irish) Gregory (English) Lisieux refer to Humanitas, and ICATW one of our campaigns. However Calum did not as far as I have been able to determine post the entire contents of the two Swedish emails. He only posted edited parts of that material and seemingly declined to post both emails with their context.

If his software has a forward button he can squirt them to the NG without cutting and pasting. If he has indeed posted the entire emails with his questions to the Swedes then he has my apologies. I have looked and searched and I have not found such a post from Calum. He was asked for weeks to post the material and he declined to oblige.

He was asked for *all* the context. If I had asked for the edited highlights then you might have a point. calum has not as far as I can ascertain posted the context and contents of his two emails he was boasting about and he was asked for weeks to do so.

>Calum has posted the full contents
Okay then as a big personal favor to me go find me the text of his questions to the swedes and their full replies by way of a response. When you can do that I will accept that he posted them.

He was asked to cough up his evidence weeks ago. It is too late now for comradely compliance. I'm entirely indifferent to whether he posts or doesn't post the material.

Does the law of the land state that they are men or women? If they get arrested for serial X or Y or Z do they go to male prisons or female facilities?

There is a widely held perception in New Zealand that the PRB was about helping pimps and promoting alternative lifestyles to the severe disadvantage of prostituted women.

When was the last time a transvestite was sent to a female prison in New Zealand? My expertise on prisons is surely extensive but it never stretched to New Zealand and I never claimed that it did.

The simple facts of the matter is that the police treat them as male and more males are arrested for selling themselves or for public indecency than females and that is the local police analysis.

Tell me the 'confusing' parts of the law, how many official genders are there? If you answer us that you will have told us everything. How many new laws is it going to take to make your perspectives fit reality?

Point to the posts with the full contents of both emails. As far as I can see and I've looked fairly hard, he edited out his parts of the exchange. Did he post the contents with understandable context as requested?

The issue is that he has consistently resisted supporting his position by posting his two emails so we can judge for ourselves.

Now *if* he has posted the context and response I will apologise to the NG, however I certainly did not see Calum do such a post and I have asked him many times. As it was a key part of his 'evidence' I find that terribly surprising.

I edited nothing. I posted what came back from Sweden. They didn't include the question I asked in
their reply. I had asked "How many people had been arrested, charged and convicted of offences
under the 1999 Act criminalising clients of sex workers, and how many people, if any, were being
trafficked to Sweden for the purposes of prostitution".

Again, you prove you are without knowledge, and are without honour.

You should also note that you posted your original request under one of your aliases that I had
killfiled a long time ago, and was unable to read it until it was reposted under one I could read.

You did not mention any preconditions at that time. you did not let others know that I could not
read that personality. As far as I am concerned, you purposely concocted your "offer" in such as
way so that I could not respond. This, again, points to the type of person you are.

Well why not for example if several hundred years ago a state agreed to uphold liberty and then retrospectively you change the meaning of the term liberty, then the state has violated the original contract,
right?

This appears to be the position of some people on this site and the position of several Gay activists in the US.

Subject - Sweden and the NZPC
12/7/03

NZPC/CL-C-NZ
Dear Calum,

Let us simply return to the real and unadulterated facts of the matter. Neither of the two Swedish officials gave you the slightest indication in either of their two emails that the Swedish legislation had caused any increase in trafficking which is of course a trans global crime directly related to *both* the legal and illegal sex industries around the globe. I spoke to one of those correspondents.

Much of the criticism of the Swedish legislation in NZ was obviously initially derived from a single trash TV station and from a variety of essentially bogus tabloid newspaper reports which were then unwisely carried into English language journalism by otherwise respectable foreign media. The trafficking and internet myths (relative to the Swedish law) have that provenance.

Who in their right mind would blame the internet on Sweden? Your own method of relating the Swedish legislation to trafficking is very difficult to accept and you never offered us a credible model of why you were directly relating one with the other. The CEDAW Committee made the same requests (for data) to both New Zealand and to Holland which you were citing as evidence against Sweden on nz.soc.queer.
Minister Phil Goff MP did the same thing in Parliament.

On that latter point I fully expect the NZPC to support the retention of all databases relative to brothels and pimping. The NZPC, the Green Party of NZ and Tim Barnett MP made so much hay out of obfuscating that CEDAW request for data, that they will look very foolish if they ignore an identical request by the CEDAW Committee which was asked of New Zealand.

The Finns as I confidently predicted are now publicly in the process of adopting the position that the Swedish legislation offers the very best mechanism and remedy to frustrate trafficking and exploitation. The Finnish authorities waited until enough time had elapsed to study the effects of the Swedish legislation and their government have now made up their minds.

The Finnish police have just seized the equivalent of 1.5 million capsules of the 'date-rape' drug Rohypnol, with a street value four million dollars making it the biggest haul recorded in the European Union and Rohypnol is just as commonly linked to both the legal and illegal sex trade around the world as it is to anything else. Recent events in Australia suggest that the 'legal' sex trade is as deeply involved in slavery as the illegal.

Let me offer you just a little expert advice, I really do direct what has to be honestly seen as the most active anti-trafficking coalition in the British Isles and we are certainly one of the most efficient in Northern Europe. We have the hard and fast results to prove it. We work with some agencies who are part of the problem and some who are part of the solution.

The NZPC have as far as I am aware not actually achieved or promoted one single anti-trafficking arrest or operation anywhere in Oceania. The legal or quasi legal sex trade is just as responsible for trafficking as the 'illegal' end of the vice and pornography industry.
I treated you courteously as a fellow-advocate and you subjected me in return to a barrage of public abuse. How many times did you tell me to 'fuck off'?

(1) The NZPC as a state supported agency should fully abide by the interpretative notes of the official records (travaux préparatoires)
which pertain to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the ratified protocols attached to that same treaty.

(2) That for the purposes of both CEDAW and the Trans Global Organized Crime Treaty, that no policy distinction be made by the NZPC between Heroin, Rohypnol or any drug which is likely to diminish the capacity for legal consent.

I would include excess alcohol in that category and 'excess' should be properly defined as amounts exceeding the recommended daily alcohol intake for both males and females. People affected or intoxicated by drugs have less capacity to consent being the important principle.

Dear Matt,

I'd settle if somebody from the NZPC was able to define what a 'woman'
actually was for us. I hate jurisdictions which have trashed the dictionary.

Take the word 'pimp', if drug dealing and child pornography were made legal,
the dictionary definition would remain. So why use elaborate phrases to describe pimps when there is a four lettered word dedicated to the job and in common usage? Why call them 'corporate sexual service providers' or whatever. Why can't they just be pimps?

Did they work out the syntax for what a Father was in New Zealand when he was not being a man? I would have taken the two parents approach myself.

All bull shit and crap, fantasy and lies.

Hmm, let me see. I was told that trafficking for the purposes of prostitution was "virtually
unheard of" prior to the 1999 Act criminalising clients. I was told in one of those e-mails that
trafficking was now between 200 and 500 per year. In an official report by the Swedish rapporteur
for trafficking (Kasja Wahlberg), it specifically stated that busloads of women from the Murmansk
region in Russia were arriving every weekend for the purposes of prostitution. (Even one small bus
of 15 women for 40 weeks of the year exceeds the 500 stated in the e-mail). That same report
admitted the presence of clandestine prostitution in Sweden. In a speech by Ingela Klinetberg, that
has also been attached to one of the e-mails, it was admitted that even buying a drink for someone
with the intention of having casual sexual relations was enough to commit an offence against the
1999 Act.

And you are trying to deny that was actually said, and that official reports amke mention of
clandestine prostitution in Sweden. Again, you prove you know nothing about what you speak.

She said it was abhorrent and that was a definite and precise perspective on the activity. The new legislation did not offer any new protections which can be distinguished as being obviously absent from the existing legislation. The NZ authorities have not been able to define 'legal consent'
for the purposes of treaty compliances.

They are very keen not to discuss the issue. Calum Bennachie for his part is seemingly unable to define what a 'woman' might be under current New Zealand law. The NZPC did not promote the bill as model anti-trafficking law, the legislation was not compatible with any UN or US State Department endorsed templates.

Oh come on, Matt. Look at any dictionary or linguistics textbook and you will note that etymological change happens over time. And it's not just leftists who do it either, it is any political movement struggling over the definition of meaning. And you're guilty of generalisation about postmodernism.
As a Foucauldian, I find Foucault and Derrida far more substantive than (shudder) Baudrillard, the vacuous git. Incidentally, there's an excellent article on Rorty in the latest Prospect magazine. I assume there's a copy or two in the Otago Uni Bookshop.

Dear Calum,

Please don't be absolutely absurd. Credible reports patently existed of larger alleged trafficking allegations significantly _before_ the Swedish law came into being and therefore a measured 'increase' was always problematical. Why have a Rapporteur on Trafficking as part of a EU crisiis initiative if the problem did not already exist?

The specific reference you refer to was speculative (at the time) and the same reporting agency was of the convinced opinion that most trafficking probably involved transit and consolidation rather than adverse or criminal activities _on_ Swedish territory. Would Minister Phil Goff MP happily let the CEDAW Committee include the reports of rampant sexual slavery in Australia as being entirely the fault of the New Zealand authorities?
Therefore why blame Sweden for Finland or Germany?

The Finnish authorities have recently told us that for Finland much _stricter_ versions of the Swedish law are now required. The impact of the Schengen agreement and even the Internet had a more understandable role on irregular migration to Sweden and advocates in Sweden were at a complete loss as to why Phil Goff and the NZPC completely failed to remark upon the effect of open borders might have had on Sweden.

For the first time, non-EU citizens could go to Sweden from other Schengen nations without any border checks. That happened in the _same_ period of this alleged increase in trafficking. The NZPC research was thought by many to be essentially bogus. My own initial presumption was that the NZPC would simply have asked the NSWP in South Africa for their propaganda on Sweden.

I contacted the Swedish authorities (in London and Sweden) the very moment I saw you make specific reference to two of their officials and I eventually spoke to one of your correspondents. I was never in any great doubt that the Swedes had written to you and I was equally certain that nothing they had told you in the same emails supported what you were claiming or for that matter supported anything Phil Goff was telling the NZ House of Commons.

I never suspected (for even a moment) that any Swedish official actually told you that alleged trafficking increases were linked to their anti-exploitation law. How can domestic law impact trafficking to other places? Sex tourism in Russia and Germany probably increased (to whatever extent) but that is as far as that goes. Swedes wanting to exploit women probably did have to travel.

None of which is diretly about Sweden's alleged problems. The most obvious (and temporary) glitch would have been the impact of the Schengen agreement.
The UN Committtee on CEDAW are also being made aware that Phil Goff MP was at great pains to keep that important information from the NZ Parliament.

They are also being told of the mythical UN Committee 'finding' on Sweden which was reported to the New Zealand parliament. The CEDAW Committee had asked the same request of NZ, Holland _and_ Sweden. Miister Phil Goff MP made a very big deal out of a routine request for data collection, he turned it into a finding of fact. The PRB legislation was a calculated insult to both the CEDAW Committee and to the Swedish people.

Many of the entirely bogus allegations maliciously directed at Sweden were clearly invented by the current NZ Government. This scandal will now be with us for several years.

Kind regards
Gregory

The EU established crisis Rapporteurs on Trafficking *before* the legislation and they did so because of a trafficking crisis. There were obviously more reports of very high levels of trafficking prior to the legislation than after it.

You are simply incorrect. If the issue is whether there was rampant trafficking reported before the law then the answer is certainly yes.
The reports *obviously* exist regardless of what you might have been told.

I am sure you could find some in two minutes. If the issue is the existence of reports of rampant traficking prior to the Swedish law then you might simply concede the point.

I was told in one of those e-mails that > trafficking was now between 200 and 500 per year. In an official report by the Swedish rapporteur

That is all entirely speculative 200 - 500 stuff. The figures you are using are 200 or 500 and it has to be one or the other or it is not a real figure. The glitch in the system was obviously the Amsterdam Treaty. Sweden's borders were thrown completely open and that did cause temporary problems.

The women (allegedly) came over for a day or a week on and then left.
If you had stated that the Schengen Treaty had thrown open the borders I might run with your theory. However blaming another piece of legislation is utterly absurd. The 200 - 500 transit figure was intended to be speculative.

The reporting agency responsible for the original speculation was of the entirely concrete opinion that the prostitution did not (as a rule) take place on Swedish soil and that Sweden is used for transit and consolidation and that is much closer to the truth.

Exchanging drugs for sex is certainly possible but hardly a beer.
Getting females drunk for sex might be a crime of 'date rape'. I think I have to ask you for an explicit and unambiguous statement proving your very bizarre point.

This is merely more NZPC fantasy which you might actually believe but which is certainly not remotely true. The NZPC campaign was a product of black propaganda and rampant distortion.

Dear Calum,

Did any of the two Swedish officials *specifically* tell you that their anti-exploitation law had increased trafficking? You see I happen to know just a little bit about Sweden. For example when the Amsterdam Treaty came into force planes were landing without any checks at all. Imagine New Zealand without any immigration officials checking anything!

Now if you had blamed that little glitch on something I would have to concede at least the plausible theory of what you suggest. No but that was not good enough for the NZPC, they simply _had_ to blame the irregular or undocumented migration on an entirely different piece of legislation *and* make sure that nobody mentioned the Amsterdam Treaty. It was important to keep very quiet about that.

The NZPC campaign was about black propaganda and distortion on the grand scale. Name me one brothel in Sweden selling human milk openly!
There is no comparison between NZ and Sweden. Your country has brothels which openly cater for the most deplorable paraphilia and those very same fetishes might spread disease. What sort of condom does a man use for sucking milk? Your legislation has merged the sex and dairy sectors.

Dear Geoff,

Real clever ad hominem rebuttal there, have you thought of joining the NZ Green Party? The PRB was seen by many people as promoting the interests of criminals and pimps and to get the legislation through the gay alternative lifestyle lobby waded into help.

Calum Bennachie was not been able to define what a 'woman' was in New Zealand for the purposes of breast feeding and prostitution. I made a pint of asking him a few times and none of his answers were paticularly well defined.

Some of the UN Committee are going to be in less doubt. Several of them are already extremely annoyed. I feel I had predicted as much.
The scandal of the PRB is very far from over. We can certainly stick it out for 4 years or more.

Kind regards
Gregory

Dear Calum,

Legal definition of a woman in New Zealand is what? You will have to forgive me for insisting but the CEDAW Treaty is essentially about women. Presumably that girl selling breast milk can be chalked up as a female.

Tell me what the strict definition of a biological female human being is in NZ. Forget your lifestyle agenda and alternatives, what does the actual law say? The police suggest that most of their prostitution arrests were actually men frightening the horses.

As I said, if you knew as much about NZ as you claim, you would already have the answer. It appears
that yet again, you speak from the position of ignorance by distance.

There are different legal definitions for different Acts.

In fairness to the the NZPC and Tim Barnett MP, they now have anti-trafficking advocates in Europe and the USA reading up on food safety legislation.

Dear Calum,

Forget the kinetic acts, we are talking about a biological state of being and you are unable or unwiling to tell us what a woman is. Presume for a moment that I am completely ignorant of both NZ and biology.

What happened in Finland during the campaign?

- The head quarters of criminal police informed about the results of its study on trafficking
and prostitution in Finland. It was found that about 95 percent of the prostitutes operating in
Finland are trafficked here by Russian and Estonian criminal organisations.
It was also
found that the criminal organisations had divided the area of Finland between themselves
for purposes of exploitation of prostitution. Prostitution in Finland is mobile, the prostitutes
are trafficked here for some weeks at a time.
