ABC News Radio – Interview on Wage Theft
I spoke to Glen Bartholomew from ABC News Radio about recent wage theft in Australia.
Radio Interview: Are You Supporting Slavery Without Knowing It?
An estimated 40 million people across the globe are modern slaves. This means they’re coerced into work, earn low wages or are being exploited. What do you know about the conditions that the coffee you drink or the clothes you wear were produced in? Two experts explain how we all need to up the ante to consider ourselves ethical consumers.

The 2022 World Cup Tarnished by Labour Exploitation in Qatar
A recent report by Amnesty International details evidence of the systematic exploitation of migrant workers building facilities for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The amount of workers is expected to grow ten-fold to around 36,000 in the coming two years. An earlier report by the International Trade Union Confederation says 1,200 migrant workers from India and Nepal have died in Qatar since the country was awarded the 2022 World Cup, and it estimates that 4,000 migrant workers will die by the time the first game is played in 2022. The Qatar 2022 organising committee has appointed Impactt to provide oversight and monitor workers’ rights on the back of a damning report by Amnesty International.
