"The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme (PALM) is a crucial source of
workers across regional Australia. About 32,000 people from nine Pacific
nations and Timor-Leste work in Australia under PALM.
Over seven months of researching the scheme – interviewing workers, employers,
country liaison officers, trade union organisers, community volunteers and
academics, as well as digging into the data on it – I didn’t encounter anyone
who thought it was a bad idea.
But there were many calls for change to make it work better for everyone. My
new report, published today, suggests where we could start."
