Slavery in Australia

Post by Laan Yaa Mo » May 25, 2023, 9:45 am

A Melbourne couple have been charged with keeping a slave between January and October in 2022. Human trafficking is a big problem around the world. If the couple is found guilty they should get the full 25 years in jail.

Before this posts includes Slavery from the African continent etc, can I say that slavery like prostitution is so old that it was occurring long before any of our known ancestors were even thought of e alone alive
Every rrace and culture either endured or was complicit in slavery opne way or the other . the question should be asked why is there still slavery , simple people seeking better paid jobs doing menial work as it is easier and often in some cases more rewarding than sitting in a building making stuff ( for example ).
What is unacceptable is treating your maid/nanny/cleaner or household help , like dirt, only people with fragile egos isecurities and often low esteem coupled with lack of human compassion do that


hey should be locked up doing exactly the same they were treating others to do for a considerable number of years.

I stumbled across the YT vid documentary on David Parker Ray... the Toy Box Killer .. he kidnapped and kept his victims as s e x slaves , very interesting but quite a disturbing especially the creepy audio tape manual for victims he made.

You seem to be a tad confused, DM - this is a thread about Australia, and it's thankfully infrequent occurrences of modern slavery.

Fortunately, where it has been detected in recent years, hefty prison sentences have been handed out to those found guilty.

Why is a slave either today or from the past different in Ozz as opposed to lets say the US ?? .. i think my post ties in with LYWs OP .. sadly DPR and his partner were real nasty pieces of work.

I agree with JS, however in a country so laid back to be almost comatose, why is there such behaviour unless the persona projected is total B/S and there is another underlying equality problem lurking beneath that laid back exterior

the crap can go on right in peoples faces. There are bad folks out there taking advantage of others. This woman and her husband were living in Embassy housing in Tokyo and before that in Yemen.

BTW, she and her husband never faced any criminal charges since they couldn't get the victims to testify in the States...

what does it have to do with Australia? Her husband was Aussie and back a few years she was at the US Consulate in Melbourne...

I heard since she was not convicted criminally she is still receiving her State Department pension even though the crimes were committed while she was an employee and residing in government provided housing..

Did Dutton's effort to kick her out of God's country succeed?

Why was she banned? 55
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
