Ema Moolchand (RMIT Researcher) - unpacking the exploitation of PALM scheme workers in Australia’s meat industry

Who killed the pig that turned into the ham for your last sandwich? Who cleaned the floor where a lamb turned into your lamb chops? Who trucked the beef that ended up in the next pie you’ll eat?  The longer and more complex the supply chain, the easier it is to lose connection with the way food gets to us. What if it was brought by slaves? RMIT researcher Ema Moolchand studied Pacific Island workers in the Australian meat industry and discovered lies, disrespect, racism and a lack of dignity and freedom.
