We knew the flaws in the work permits system that used to operate for foreign nationals from outside the European Union. We also knew that tying employees to particular employers effectively created bonded labour. The Department had no excuse for replicating that system and it is an indictment of it that it did so. It speaks to the fact that it does not care.
