Modern slavery: Hiding in plain sight

When you hear the word ‘slavery,’ you probably get images in your head of pre-civil war America. But it’s happening right now here in 21st century Australia.

On today’s Briefing, Katrina’s looking into modern day slavery and the victims who are hiding in plain sight, how to spot a situation where slavery might be taking place and what you should do if you suspect it’s going on.

We're joined by slavery survivor Moe Turaga who had his passport confiscated after he arrived in Australia from Fiji and was then forced to work on a farm without pay; and Louise Burton who’s the CEO of the Sisters of Charity Foundation which helps victims of slavery in Australia.

In this episode of the Briefing, modern slavery: hiding in plain sight.

Headlines:

  • Spain win the Women’s World Cup
  • Wallaroos players have called out Rugby Australia
  • Australia’s population to grow at slowest rate since Federation
