Modern slavery is a crime that almost always goes unpublished and unreported.

The Inquiry into establishing a Modern Slavery Act in Australia handed down its recommendations a few short months ago. With new legislation set to be introduced in State and Federal Parliaments this year, Australia could soon be a world leader in stamping out modern slavery. So what better time to learn more about the issue and the proposed new legislation?
