However, I do understand that if you can't get to Pattya or AC then you have to pay Melbourne prices.
The problem in Australia is that let's say that someone is unemployed and wants to work in the 'industry'. They lose 50% to the agency every job. They then lose 50% of the balance to social security reducing their benefit, the lose 30% in tax. All in all, they can do a job for $300 and end up with $45.

Where did you get this "social security" payment concept from. I've never heard of it.
Most girls work as "subcontractors" rather than "employees", so out of the $300 the client pays the girl walks out with $150 in hand. They will have a tax liabilty of around 30-50% depending on their reseidential status and other factors, so she would end up with at least $75 for her hour's work.
But few girls are available at $300/hr, many would be working at <$200, but even if the girl ended up with $50/hr, this is a good wage here.
But the girls working in CMPs probably don't do so well. Customer pays the shop only $60/hr, so girl is dependent on selling you the HJ for an extra $20. Some shops are as cheap as $45/hour with HJ included but the girls are older MINLFs
A SW charging $200/hr probably pockets the lot, because they avoid the tax net, but probably blows it all on drugs.
