Edit: sorry, I think I glanced through the article too quickly- it is referring to prostitutes. I'm not in Australia, and I'm not really sure if I have a stance on this, but wanted to correct my comment so I wasn't misleading people

~~It sounded like this meant prostitutes, but it seems like this actually just means things that help you physically make sex work if you have a disability, which seems much more normal and appropriate~~

It is prostitution, but so what? What is inappropriate about two adults undertaking an agreed transaction for sexual needs that would otherwise go unfulfilled? A disabled person already has so many limitations in life, any opportunity to expand those limits should be supported in my view. As a taxpayer, I support my money being used for these services for disabled community members.

Thank you for correcting me! I skimmed the article out of curiosity a bit too quickly I guess
