NZ sex workers undercut by illegal foreign prostitutes immigrants now outnumbered New Zealanders in the industry, Christchurch prostitute Amber O'Hara* said. A wave of foreign prostitutes working in breach of their visas is taking work from locals, sex workers say. Photo: AFP While some women advertising on sex work websites as foreign visitors would have residence or citizenship, immigrants now outnumbered New Zealanders in the industry, Christchurch prostitute Amber O'Hara* said. "The New Zealand sex industry is now on a quite predictable trajectory, containing mainly illegal sex workers willingly travelling here to work from countries where it is illegal," she said. "Yet it's a see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil situation from those with the actual power to help." Immigrants taking New Zealanders' jobs would not be allowed in other industries and the country was seen as a soft target for women who could makes thousands on a sex work holiday, Ms O'Hara said. One of the main sex work websites advertised more than 800 women, separated into Asian and non-Asian prostitutes. A registration scheme on sites would mean only those eligible to work could advertise - and ensure everyone was paying tax, Ms O'Hara said. "It will mean that New Zealand ladies who do want to work, who are straight with the IRD and trying to do the right thing, can actually run a sustainable business without unfair competition from people who are not doing the right thing by our law. "It wouldn't be a problem if there were just a few fly-by-nighters but, if you count the ads, New Zealanders are easily outnumbered." Other prostitutes RNZ spoke to said they were being crowded out and undercut by immigrant sex workers, who were charging half the rates of their New Zealand counterparts. Hamilton sex worker Lisa Lewis said most people who went on holiday maxed-out their credit cards. "These girls are leaving with their credit cards in credit," she said. "It's definitely a disadvantage for any legal sex worker because we are having to pay tax, the provisional, the income, the GST, ACC levies. "They are leaving New Zealand without any of that taken off them, which is robbery of the government." Ms Lewis had offered to meet with immigration minister Iain Lees-Galloway to discuss what was happening. A spokesperson for Mr Lees-Galloway said his office had responded in detail to correspondence from Ms Lewis and passed on information from her to Immigration New Zealand. *Not her real name.

Hi Maurice, I see you live in Auckland. I had the great pleasure of visiting the North Island in 2005. We went fishing in Wangarei never have I seen such a beautiful country. I was so impressed with the people of New Zealand. They protect their heritage from immigration that would change their cultural identity. There is so much political correctness globally that I'm hesitant to type it but I found the New Zealanders happy with where and how they are and protective of keeping it that way. I viewed it as pride of their cultural heritage and wanting to keep it that way. I remember the boat captain pointing to this beautiful large home up on a hill on the coast and calling it "Where a Texan lived". I'm not sure what an American would have to do to buy land there and reside?? I found it very refreshing and missed it when I went to Australia and found it strikingly different and a melting pot of asians , europeans, English and Americans. I have ever since thought and said to my wife if the US keeps going the way it is - we need to sell it all and move to New Zealand. It was so clean and everywhere I looked it was like living in a post card picture of cleanliness and pride of land ownership. I miss it just typing it. The striped Marlin fishing was excellent as were all other species of fishing. The beer drinking was quite good too! I felt instantly at home. Good to know someone from New Zealand! Hope your weather is good there now! Pardon my "I LOVE NEW ZEALAND " rant , <smile> Bob

When asked whether Huawei had been contacted, India's Telecoms Secretary, Aruna Sundararajan told the Economic Times that the DoT had "excluded Huawei from these trials New Delhi appears to be following in the footsteps of Washington and Canberra and loos likely to exclude Huawei from its 5G network rollout, potentially raising the cost of 5G rollout in a market where operators are already struggling with enormous quantities of debt. By Chris Kelly, Total Telecom Friday 14 September 18 India is the world's second biggest mobile market, with over 1.2 billion mobile connections India is pressing ahead with plans to speed up trials of 5G technology, but has excluded Huawei and ZTE from taking part, according to reports in the Indian press. A report in the Economic Times of India, India's departmet of Telecoms has writtento Cisco, Samsung, Ericsson and Nokia to expedite 5G trials in the country. When asked whether Huawei had been contacted, India's Telecoms Secretary, Aruna Sundararajan told the Economic Times that the DoT had "excluded Huawei from these trials". Huawei has been forced to defend itself in recent months against a series of allegations that it's networks pose a national security threats to nations – supposedly by leaving "back doors" open, through which the Chinese government is able to conduct acts of espionage. So far, Huawei has faced these accusations from both the US and Australia, neither of whom have provided any evidence to substantiate their claims. Indeed, in June this year, the US commerce secretary said that he could find "no evidence" that Huawei posed such a threat. New Delhi appears to be following in the footsteps of Washington and Canberra and loos likely to exclude Huawei from its 5G network rollout, potentially raising the cost of 5G rollout in a market where operators are already struggling with enormous quantities of debt. Despite being excluded from the latest round of trials, Huawei remains hopeful of being involved in 5G in India further down the line. We are in regular touch with DoT and concerned government officials. The Indian government has always supported Huawei and has been appreciative of our path-breaking technologies and solutions," Huawei told the Economic Times of India in a statement this week. totaltele.com
