Comment on Bitter fruit: the dark underside of the booming NSW blueberry industry

It is probably the whole country and the whole agricultural industry. Can’t really go anywhere in a rural town without seeing bus loads of islander labour everywhere. I don’t know what their pay and conditions are like. The stories you heard when the industry relied on backpackers weren’t great so I am not hopeful. I guess Robert Towns was way ahead of his time. You would think with all the underpayments it would be reflected in Colesworths prices.
