Is Mise,
Here's an article which makes an interesting point about the utility of myth on the modern era,"There are valuable reasons for telling certain stories in a certain way at pivotal times, but that doesn’t mean we have to hold on to them once they’ve outlived their usefulness". Have We Got Matthew Shepard All Wrong?

If nothing else the link shows a world wide intention to ignore the laws and culture of country these people come to, in an attempt to find a better life? Or to make ours worse? Posted by Belly, Monday, 17 February 2014 6:33:41 AM

Jay,
You asked for a trial in relation to Blackbirding, so I gave you one, "....However, at trial in Brisbane Coath was convicted on the charge of kidnapping the nine Epinese and was sentenced by Mr Justice Alfred Lutwyche to five years imprisonment and a £50 fine." Was the trial all part of the myth? You haven't made any comment on those that exploit the subjects of Canberra's anti-slavery laws. Perhaps I have it wrong; the brothel customers are all Asians as are the construction industry bosses that hire the slave labour. I guess that the Immigration Department is controlled by Asians as well or this exploitation of people wouldn't exist. Posted by Is Mise, Monday, 17 February 2014 7:12:27 AM

Is Mise,
The way Chinese middlemen do business is that they take a contract to supply workers or to undertake work then they sell the jobs to migrants or people working illegally, this is the norm in Asian communities and I've never encountered it in any other context. Dodgy Australian middlemen operate by taking the "cream" from loaded contracts or by taking secret commissions from clients, I've never heard of anyone extorting money directly from workers or holding them in conditions of servitude. Your definition of slavery fits more exactly in this context due to the fact that women are bought and sold in the sense that their debts can be sold by their Madam to another brothel or a client who wishes to have a live in concubine, so to speak. The point is that prostitution is largely de-criminalised in this country so people choosing to work in that area don't need to enter into these types of agreements, they can register with the PCA and work from home or as an independent escort, alternatively they can work legally in a brothel and complain to the PCA or Police if they're mistreated. . The Asian sex trafficking trade is an institution peculiar to their ethnic groups, in Europe it's women from the Eastern countries who are being trafficked by European procurers, it seems that this type of activity doesn't often cross racial and ethnic lines.There's probably a good reason why White Australian criminals don't try to stand over or take over the Asian brothels, ie the Asian gangsters are more likely to behead them or kill their families than other ethnic groups.

Jay Of Melbourne and others,
Until we get rid of those left wing judges whose only grasp of reality is in their whiskey glass and start locking the genital mutilators and the victims families and the religious nuts that orchestrate the practices and the mullahs that promote the rituals for many many years with deportation at the end of the sentence we are not going to wipe out these vile practices. These people actually believe their family is shamed by a non arranged marriage of a child bride. Posted by chrisgaff1000, Monday, 17 February 2014 3:51:07 PM

None running brothels, protecting call girls etc., etc.
None visiting the brothels for a bit of 'slant'?
None bludging on sex workers?
None employing today's slaves in industry?
How quaint.
