Shortcut: Australia's sex trafficking rings hiding in plain sight

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Sex trafficking of overseas women to Australia is far more widespread than you may believe.

The Sex Work industry can be one of empowerment and autonomy for many workers. On this episode however, we discuss its dark corner controlled my organised crime and exploitation.

Investigative journalist Nick McKenzie joins us to discuss the major sex trafficking rings he exposes in his documentary "Revealed: Trafficked".

"Revealed: Trafficked" can be streamed now only on Stan.
