Manage episode 486493663 series 5428
A New South Wales inquiry into modern slavery has heard of migrant workers living in overcrowded and "unliveable" accommodation and being too afraid of deportation to seek medical care after suffering an injury.
It comes as research from the Australian National University uncovered shocking accounts of workers employed on temporary visas hiding pregnancies, attempting home terminations, or spending thousands of dollars to access abortions.
Guest: Dallas Tout, Mayor of Wagga Wagga City Council and is a member of Mayoral Alliance for the Pacific.
Producer: Grace Stranger
