 "Fun for the Punjabis who went to Australia!, the new law came into effect…")
Complaints about low wages from foreign workers in Australia are frequent. Indians in particular have often been victims of such exploitation. Now the government here has implemented a new law.
In fact, the government has started taking measures to stop the exploitation of workers. The new law in this regard has come into effect from January 1. Now neglecting to underpay or deprive an employee of rights will be a punishable offence. Many businessmen used such workers as cheap labour.
Many such cases had come to light where the businessmen used to exploit the workers by giving them low wages. Especially students from other countries including India, migrant workers with raw visa were more victims of this economic robbery.
Ms. Anna Booth, head of the Fair Work Ombudsman for Australian workplaces and labor laws, said that those found guilty could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison and fined up to 1.65 million dollars by the court.
