===========
Twenty-first century capitalism has sentenced millions of workers to near slavery in the form of various migrant labour schemes that underpin the mega profits of many giant corporations. From Singapore to Dubai to the US, such schemes spell super-exploitation. So would a “guest worker” scheme in Australia be much less exploitative?
.....
Research by Bob Kinnaird, an independent migration and labour analyst, showed that 457 visa workers are almost twice as likely to die at work as the national average. “There are 3.0 workplace deaths per 100,000
workers nationally. That figure for 457 visa workers is 5.8. This figure is almost double that of local workers.”

[interesting research to say the least , wonder if it is based on facts or wishfull thinking and interpretation ???]
