HRS: "I doubt very much if human trafficking is occurring in this country, but there is a lot of slavery."

Did you actually read the artcle? Liz and Banjo are correct - your irrelevant comments bear no relation to the article about trafficking in humans.

If you want to have yet another whinge about CSA, why don't you do as Banjo suggests and start your own thread in the General section instead of hijacking this unrelated one?

I have noticed that if I post onto a forum, then you will inevitably follow with some derogatory comment. But of course this does not make you into some type of sleazy, slimy, seedy stalker, because that would not be your style.

The article identifies slavery or exploitation as “may take a number of forms from slavery, to forced labour or debt bondage, to sexual exploitation.”

I would think that this would characterise the child support system entirely, where the father is indebted without their agreement or consent, and then forced to work and pay money, but they have no say in how that money is spent.

That is slavery.

The article also says that only 100 people are trafficked into Australia each year. I would think that is about right, and the restrictions placed on illegal immigration has helped limit human trafficking.

But the actual amount of slavery inside the country is much greater.
