Concerns shearers 'kept on a leash' and paid in drugs, as industry conditions worsen

The ABC understands the woman was doing shed-hand work, rather than shearing, at the time of the accident.Mr Harrowfield said some shearing contractors were actively flouting the law and providing workers with drugs as payment.

"It's against the law. It's bad enough paying in cash, let alone cannabis provided as a subsidy to workers." Several wool workers have told the ABC they also witnessed contractors supplying illicit substances other than cannabis, although Mr Roulstone had no knowledge of that.

Reports from who ABC rubbish fake news to try to stop/hinder the Australian sheep farmers. ABC anti meat farming. your the only fake news cause/spin witch doctors of a so called 'industry conditions worsen' ABC you are fake news

WTF this is not the case in my experience as good shearer’s are hard to come buy therefore hold the power. Good dollar for bloody hard work with some sheds now being fitted with air con.

The only answer is to join your union. How do people forget about this?
