Dorrie Flatman left Liverpool in 1963 with three daughters and £45. Today she is one of Australia's wealthiest women. She is a brothel madam, with three flourishing businesses and the firm conviction that business is best kept in the family. So while she manages one "house," her daughter oversees the house opposite, and her ex-babysitter from Kirkby the branch brothel in Fremantle. The books are meticulously kept by Dorrie's husband, an accountant 21 years her junior. Had Dorrie plied her trade in Britain, she would have ended up in jail. But this is Perth, Western Australia, in some ways astonishingly permissive, where licensed brothels are illegal, but "tolerated."
