A labour hire company has been forced to pay more than $50,000 to a group of Vanuatuan labourers who were underpaid while working on a tomato farm in northern Victoria.

"The average amount that the workers are going to receive is around $2,600, but our information, and the instructions we received from our clients, showed that the amount owed is between $7,000 and $10,000 each, and that's before you look at the issue of unlawful deductions and unpaid superannuation," Mr Power said.

Mr Carmichael acted as a mouthpiece between the Fair Work Ombudsman and a number of African migrants who were left $7,000 out of pocket, after completing work at a tomato farm near Shepparton in 2015. Despite putting pressure on local Federal member Damian Drum, and the Ombudsman, Mr Carmichael said there were many loopholes within the system.
