Exploitation Of Backpackers In Australia

[Dreamsandlove]

It's actually shocking. Anyone on here...been to/are in australia and feel at times they've been exploited because they are a backpacker?!

[seekeerz]

Chill I think some people do take advantage while others are really quite reasonable ...yes I imagine Dreams could leave any time ...they can't chain her to the fence exactly but I feel she must have had some preconceived ideas about the expectations of a backpacker

Qld, not far out of Brisbane I believe Seekz.

Hey 1ozzy ....pretty much how I see it too ....ok on the fruit blocks they work hard and some of the conditions not too crash hot, but by and large most of them have a great time.

Hmmmm....you know those Queenslanders, they're a weird mob !!!

[1ozzy]

Not wrong there Seekz, my brother is a Queenslander, I rest my case your honour ;-).

Lots of farms here take on backpackers and they have a great time. Ok, the money isn't good but they get board and lodgings thrown in and an experience they would never have had before.

Hehehe ...sorry mate !!

He wasn't always a Queenslander, but it has affected him ;-)
