Hm … why is it that male backpackers flock to Australia like moths to a flame? Wait, now I remember. Via The Age:

Funding for tertiary courses in prostitution could be considered under changes aimed at boosting quality and relevance in the sector, New Zealand education officials say.

Let me underscore this in case you missed it:

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Ah, my native country… always so forward-thinking.
