No there aren’t, as a quick search for the legality of prostitution in Australia would have told you.

You may have missed the word “child”, as sex tourism of this kind is unfortunately still a problem.

That's the point, though, isn't it? Fun fact: when you come back, you are no longer overseas, so now the Australian government once again gives a fuck about you! In principle, at least.

And they're not my airports. If they were, parking would be cheaper

are you sure it wasn't prostitution but child abuse overseas that was illegal?

I think he meant child prostitution, which is a popular pursuit for some Australian* men in certain Asian countries.

* But not exclusively, see Gary Glitter for instance.

Wait, really? I haven't seen these before.
