Hooking there is legal just as any other job.
It's the Sex Industry she's working in and paying taxes.
There also is a sex worker Union.
Can't fire anybody for pursuing a second job unless, but she's been evaluated as a good teacher.
Yes, and, frankly speaking as an Australian teacher, I'd be opposed to any efforts to stop her working as a teacher.
I don't agree with her choice of lifestyle, or her choice or a second job, and I would weep no tears if prostitution was criminalised again.
But as it is, she is not doing anything illegal and her activities outside the classroom are her own business until they negatively impact her work.
There are schools here that would object to me as a teacher because I'm a member of the Liberal Party of Australia (which, remember is a conservative party despite its name). There are schools here that would object to me as a teacher because I served in the Australian Defence Force. There are schools here that would object to me as a teacher because I own and shoot firearms and I hunt.
But the law prevents them from holding my personal choices about how I live my life outside of school against me.
She's entitled to the same consideration. You can't just support rights when they protect the things you like.
Now - if she was teaching in a religious school, that'd be different. I think a Catholic school, for example, should have the right to dismiss a sex worker because their activities would be incompatible with the school.
But the same token, I would say a Quaker school - or any school founded on pacifism - would have the right to reject me as a veteran as being incompatible with their belief structure.
But when it comes to state schools - well, the law is what counts.
Who keeps going to the brothel to "catch" her working there??
I'll bet I know why they didn't want to fire her. She might be a very good teacher, but prolly excelled on her 2nd job!!!
Nice to have multi-talented personnel working for you!!!
