Everything mentioned in that arictle isn't a failure of legal prostitution. It's a failure of that specific brothel and of the Australian government for not doing anything about it. In other words, those issues would be present even if prostitution was illegal. Legalizing prostitution didn't cause those issues. Legal prostitution isn't a panacea, just as, say legalizing weed, isn't. It's harm reduction and it's the first step in the right direction. Smart policies need to be made and excuted. Also the author says "The media glamorises prostitution and presents the illusion that it’s sexually liberating for women, and sex industry lobbyists claim that it’s just regular work. For a long time I accepted this without question." I have never seen anyone glamorizing sex work and say it's liberating. Porn, yes, but never prostitution.
