Melbourne

[Engine Driver]

The massage shops here in Melbourne have been operational again since 1/6/2020 as most of you already know, and from the shops I've driven past in the local area, 90% of them have returned which means, they are very good at making a decent profit to have a 10 week close, or there very good at saving money for a rainy day, or they received subsidized rental assistance from the landlord. What ever has kept them going, the industry is still very strong.

Haha. Not just subsidized rent from the landlord. Here's a few other financial support programs those owners and workers were getting.

1. Newstart at double rates for all the girls with PR.

2. JobSeeker for the girls if they weren't already on NewStart.

3. JobKeeper if they actually had legit employees on the books.

4. Federal cash flow assistance for business scheme.

5. State government business assistance grants.

6. State government grants for international students out of work.

7. The owners will now all be getting renos done to take the free $25 k.

It's nice to know that our taxes are being used to prop up gangster run businesses. No wonder the Chinese think we are stupid mugs.

May I have the name and location of this AMP please. Thanks.

Went to my an AMP last night. They get you to fill in a book with your name and phone number. Book had numerous pages with names on it so I guess quite a lot of eager punters were waiting for this. Paid 100 for 30 min FS. When I was leaving saw another punter waiting.

Just went for a straight massage today at my local no extras place Girl, more lady, when I asked how have you been paid during the lockdown, said we were told my mamasan told them to apply for Jobseeker, even though they were employed at the time, as it was all cash. So they are on Job seeker, and also being paid 1/2 of massage costs per client; $65 (divided by two) an hour, so all happy, I asked ow can you claim Jobseeker when you're working, she replied well, if the second wave comes, we will close again, so we don't want to stand in Centrelink line again so we will keep claiming it clears up!!

Oh my goodness. Breaking the law by offering sexual services is OK, lying about their age, running dodgy business is OK but we really have to draw the line at tax fraud.

At least there is some comfort if they are claiming JobSeeker we know they are PR or citizens.

I love the industry that meets our needs.

Just about everyone who is being paid in cash is on Jobseeker or Newstart. There is no way for the government to track it. I don't think they just applied for Jobseeker now. They were already on the dole, and now it's been doubled. Happy days.

Locality via PM would be great if possible?

So the greedy dirty AMP, s are back in full operation, providing their sub par service and avoiding paying taxes at all costs, I'm not quiet that desperate to part with my nicely saved up play money with them! Does anyone know / understand the government stance on when full service brothels can legally reopen? Personally, I find the service and woman all far far better for generally near enough the same price, if not barely $20 different!

Thanks.

I went to one out at Sunshine yesterday. Was full when I got there about 11.30 am and I had to wait about 10 minutes. WHile I waited another 4 punters arrived.

After talking to the mama she said Monday was way too busy, not that she will be complaining.

Yes I think waiting a week is probably a good idea to avoid the rush, there is nothing worse than getting rushed and pushed out because there is another punter waiting.

So having been stuck overseas for 3 months and just returning, and reading the Locanto ads etc. I see that prices have risen obviously due to demand. One hour FS incalls that were mostly 200 -230 are now nearly all 250. So I'm hoping if anyone finds a good 200 service they will share it, and I'll do the same when I get out of quarantine jail.

[FenceJumper]

The Leader Newspaper will become even more irrelevant now that they are ceasing to print in hard copy newspaper format.

They were quite happy to accept advertising revenue from massage parlours for many many years. The rise of Locanto and other online advertising platforms has caught them asleep at the wheel.

So NOW they are morally outraged. Ha ha ha.

Some would say the AMP is a resilient industry. Recently, someone reported quite a few shops closed in Preston, I never go there so can't comment. However, south of the Yarra, most if not all are in hibernation rearing to go this Monday with a couple expecting me in with three girls on offer. I don't know how they do it, they don't qualify for JobSeeker or JobKeeper or other social services. In terms of expectations, I'll be happy just getting a nice massage and seeing what unfolds. I see the benefits, but recording client contact details is concerning. You wouldn't want an outbreak from a patron or massage girl (who sees 50 / week) and health authorities and VP recall patrons and come knocking. Yuk! Maybe I'm over thinking this?

Happy hunting and punting.

I think there good at saving money for a rainy day. One girl I know replied "I don't care", when I told her a few weeks back of the shops impending re openings. Maybe she was just frustrated but maybe she was OK financially.

What are your expectations for the brothel. Parlours amd AMPS opening from this Monday? I went to the Vic Gov website and the closest information I could find is this. "Beauty therapy, tanning, waxing, nail salons, spas, tattoo parlours, massage parlours TO OPEN with up to 20 patrons. " Lets hope they all start to open and the girls are ready for some action.
