In bizarro Aussie world, it would just fine and dandy for smelly old Rakesh to 'offer' a 16 year old girl an alternative payment method

Aussie,

I have read your posts and conclude that you believe that provided that the arrangement is consensual there should be no issue in law. The act of having sex or performing sexual acts in exchange for services in the back of a taxi should be lawful in the event that a female passenger is unable to pay for the ride home.

Do you agree then that prostitution should be lawful in any circumstances. Do you think it is OK when a drunk vulnerable women is caught short that the taxi driver should take advantage of this. This is your industry and you seem to support this abuse of power and situation.

Shame on you. You're a bloody disgrace.

I knew a taxi driver in Sydney and he was offered and accepted in some circumstances a blow job in lieu of payment. It happen quite a bit. I do not believe you or your taxi mates have not experienced this unless you are all uglier than sin.

the abuse of women in exchange for sexual favours is one of abuse and a betrayal of the trust the position of a taxi driver holds. Society trusts a taxi driver, a stranger, to get our girls home safely and without them feeling compelled to resort to sex if they are in trouble. Your opinion demonstrates again to me you have no high moral position and should not be a taxi driver. I bet your mates don't tell you the truth because they are your employees and not your mates. Other taxi drivers probably are wary of you so don't disclose their activities to you because they don't trust you.

I would never be happy for my daughter to travel in your taxi knowing the believes that you have.

You support the abuse of women by male taxi drivers who even though it is for a short time, are charged with their protection and safe delivery home.

Shame on you.

Should cab drivers be expected to be a benevolent society where they are obliged to assume responsibility for drunks to ensure they get home safely for free?

If they enter the cab they are responsible to get them safely home. If the drunk misbehaves they should not for example, dump them in a gang area, they should take them to the cops. They have a responsibility. they always have.

You're assuming all these customers are pretty, young drunk things. Young girls aren't that innocent these days. They have a good time - spend all their cash and then jump in a cab and expect a free ride. Men do the same thing. Would it make a difference if a young bloke was asked to give a blow job in exchange for his fare?

No difference if it's a bloke. However they will mostly be women. It is against the law to solicit or accept sex in exchange for service for a reason.

Cabbies are just ordinary people trying to earn a living. If they physically restrain the customer - they get into trouble. If they ask for sex - they get into trouble. Obviously most people who get into a cab with no cash aren't decent people anyway and if they get propositioned - tough luck.

There is a risk in every transaction. Should we all not have credit cards because some default. No. The price includes an estimate in defaults. It clearly not about money. If a taxi driver accept a blow job instead of money it's not about the money. It's about something else. It's about control and abusing his position.

Under your logic, doctors have the right to have sex with vulnerable patents if they cannot pay. Teacher having sex with students if they get their assignments in late. Police officers having sex if they cannot afford the fine.

Bullshit. if you are in the service of a profession this is not acceptable.

Cabbies don't take an oath that they will dedicate their lives to looking after other people's children who are too irresponsible to look after themselves. There are some decent ones who will cop the loss, but don't expect them all to be the same.

They have a responsibility to deliver their client to the destination for a fare. If they cannot pay, raise it with the cops.

If your daughter or son felt they had to give a sexual favour to get out of the cab would you be happy?

I wouldn't get into a cab unless I could pay for it. Plenty of honest people would walk before they jumped into a cab without the money to pay for it.

No-one I know of or have spoken to over the last nine years has ever been offered sex in lieu of payment of a fare, myself included. We have all sorts of other offers, but never sex.

In the situation I have described the offer come from the passenger under zero drug effect, co-ercion or pressure or force. It is a completely consensual arrangement between adults. The passenger asks, or suggests, or implies and the cabbie agrees. There is no 'abuse' of women, in fact, if you want to be all smart arse, it is the cabbie who could be described as the victim who has done his job and taken the passenger safely to their destination expecting money, but in lieu, something else is offered. Did you notice the * in my first post? It is not there by accident.

Correct.... sorry. I will change the post to me being the author.

I guess I haven't got used to the changes in button position.
