Australian brothel opens to disabled customers

A brothel in the Australian city of Melbourne has carried out modifications to allow access to disabled clients.

It's thought to be the first in the country to do so, and campaigners for the disabled hope others will follow suit.

The brothel the Pink Palace has widened its doors and installed wheelchair-ramps and a sit-down shower.

A researcher into sex and disability George Taleporos said the facilities were particularly useful to disabled people, who often find it difficult to date in the usual way.
