  1. This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**

    “Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/aus )

    "The Chadian authorities are currently drafting a tourist development plan and African Parks hopes it will be finalized by the first half of next year.

    'The only way of self-funding the preservation of this heritage is tourism, said Hamid Kodi, 28, the deputy director of RNCE.

    African Parks is the second biggest employer in the province after the state, with 149 staff.

    The NGO, which oversees around 20 parks across Africa, has previously faced accusations of 'neo-colonialist practices' and rights violations.

    In Ennedi, African Parks promotes a more responsible management and its 'support' for local people, in particular by assigning 'management to young people in the region', Kodi, who himself comes from Ennedi, said."

  3. the Kenyan government, under William Ruto, continues its long held policy of using the law against(as it was always designed to) citizens

    the state is using the Terrorism Act to falsely accuse protestors and activists like Boniface Mwangi of acts of terrorism

    the 'law' has never and will never be for the people
