Brothels and cemeteries don't mix, say Australians

Australian local governments have passed legislation to prevent brothels from opening near cemeteries.

Local governments in the northern state of Queensland have called on state authorities to establish a 220 yard exclusion zone around cemeteries.

Paul Pisasale, mayor of Ipswich, said cemeteries were places for quiet reflection by families who should not have to put up with "a brothel going on next door".
