In the 1970s, worker exploitation was rife in the rag and car manufacturing trades. But even these days, migrant workers desperate for a source of income are unlikely to raise grievances, becoming vulnerable to exploitation. From restaurants to abattoirs and farms, exploitation continues to exist.
The Australian government has released an exposure draft of the Migrant Amendment (Protecting Migrant Workers) Bill 2021 that proposes new criminal offences and civil penalties to further protect migrant workers from exploitation.
Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Minister Alex Hawke said the proposed Bill sends a strong message from the government that wage underpayment and other exploitative practices against migrant workers are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

The government is attempting to present a firm stance on stamping out the exploitation ahead of the introduction of a new agricultural visa.
