Exploitation Within Australia’s PALM Scheme is Jeopardising its Regional Relationships

    Research output: Other contribution

    Abstract

    The cracks in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme have widened in recent times amid growing calls to address systemic worker exploitation. Policymakers will need to address a range of problems in partnership with stakeholders to ensure the rights of these workers are met. Failing to do so risks Australia’s relationships with participating countries in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as its wider global standing as a destination of choice for migrants.
