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: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

No‑one has been prosecuted for wage theft since it became a crime. 2 inquiries want answers
"Wage theft became a federal crime on January 1 2025. Employers who deliberately “steal” from their workers’ pay can now be prosecuted and subject to hefty criminal fines, even jail time. But in the 15 months since the law came into effect, the Fair Work Ombudsman has reported only two criminal investigations into wage theft and there have been zero prosecutions." >>

CW: Workplace relations
In case anyone needs to hear this:
If your overtime is given to you in lieu, but you can't use your lieu leave - you're being exploited and overworked.
If your leave request is anything more than a formality - you're getting exploited.
If you don't have a union, and your boss tells you that you don't need a union. Get a union double fast.

The dangers of loyalty in the workplace:
New research finds that, “instead of protecting or rewarding them, loyal employees are selectively and ironically targeted by managers for exploitative practices.”
