I’ve mentioned all of this in the past and it is horrific what these young backpackers are forced to endure simply because they do want to come to our country and work here. I think(in fact, I know), that their employers are pigs who should be gaoled and their rights to run businesses taken away from them.

As Billy Bragg pointed out: “You really need to start putting pressure on your government to recognise how these young people are being exploited,” he implored.
The renowned singer and songwriter, famous for his social activism, is full of admiration for his old friend.

“She’s seeking to ensure this type of thing doesn’t happen to some other mother’s daughter and you can’t help but be impressed by that and do whatever you can to help her.

There just needs to be a campaign of awareness so people know what they’re coming into,” he said.

“When you’re a long way from home and you’re with strange people, in a strange land, you need to know there are people out there looking out for you.”

It’s not just backpackers. The convenience chain 7-11 are under fire for underpaying and threatening their staff, who are often foreigners on working or student visas.

Why employ an expensive local when you can get cheap foreigners?
