Pretty sure that this is putting the cart before the horse. Sex workers has been legal in Australia for some time and I'd be interested (and surprised) to see if "human trafficking" to Australia is higher.

Trafficking anything bulky into Australia is harder because it doesn't have land borders, so it's not necessarily a good case study.

Then I guess it shows that legalizing prostitution in island nations is a good idea? I'll take that.

There is research that shows countries with legal prostitution have more trafficking. You can Google it if you want.
