A bill to protect sex workers from unfair discrimination and decriminalise the industry passed the state parliament on Thursday. The reforms will repeal criminal offences applying specifically to sex workers, create new offences to protect children and specifically prohibit a person being coerced to perform sex work. In the ACT, some forms of sex work are legal, but laws mandate condom use and criminalise street-based sex work and co-operative working arrangements. A review by the Queensland Law Reform Commission in April 2023 made 47 recommendations to decriminalise sex work. The state has 20 licensed brothels and most sex work occurs outside the regulated or licensed sector.

In September 2023, Girma Amente, Minister of Agriculture, unveiled the government’s robust plan to procure 23 million quintals of fertilizer for the current harvest, signaling a marked increase from the previous seasons.

The Corporation has indicated that of the total fertilizer procured for this season’s harvest, 12 million quintals (52% of the total) have been received at the Djibouti port. The initial consignment of fertilizers designated for this harvest season began arriving at the Djibouti port by late October 2023. Last year, the timely delivery of these vital agricultural inputs to small-scale farmers across the country was marred by significant disruptions.
