After years of complaints Australia’s government has finally admitted after an investigation that farms and factories have been exploiting unskilled workers with 417 working holiday visas.

The 417 working holiday visa has attracted more than a quarter million visitors since it began, and was intended as a cultural exchange program for backpackers and international students looking to travel to Australia or extend their visas. The working holiday visa allows individuals to stay for up to 6 months and seek employment in unskilled or low-skilled jobs such as fruit picking or meat packaging.

Unfortunately, unscrupulous corporations are taking advantage of migrant workers. Migrant workers are often paid less than minimum wage, women are often sexually harassed or assaulted, and some are solicited for sex in order to obtain a visa extension. Migrant workers are often treated differently from their Australian passport holding co-workers. Some companies provide Australian employees overnight sleeping quarters but migrant workers are often only given a pallet on the floor in a main room.

For those migrant workers who dare to complain, they’re quickly fired and their visas revoked.

The 417 visa system has been severely corrupted and needs a complete overhaul. The question is: Who’s going to tackle the issue?

Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter made the bombshell revelation that she was a victim of sexual abuse and harassment,and while she refused to name her alleged assailant she emphatically stated “I believe every woman in the Bill Cosby case.”

Carter, 66, spoke about the harassment she received as a star in Hollywood, not naming him and not divulging the specific details of her assault, but saying that she considered taking legal action against him.

“He’s already being done in. There’s no advantage in piling on again,” Carter told the Daily Beast, then adding: “I believe every in the Bill Cosby case.”

Carter, who starred as Wonder Woman on television in the 1970s, also said the man violated “a lot of people.”

When asked how she felt about her accuser receiving some justice, she said: “Well, whatever it is, it isn’t enough.”

Cosby was accused of drugging and raping 50 women and was set to go to trial again in Philadelphia for three counts of aggravated assault of Andrea Constand.

Carter said that she did not “take any satisfaction” from the case against her assailant and explained why she wasn’t coming forward in the case.

“No, not satisfaction. I can’t add anything to it. I wish I could. But there’s nothing legally I could add to it, because I looked into it. I’m just another face in the crowd. I wish I could, and if I could I would. And I would talk about it. But it ends up being about me, and not about the people who can talk about it.”

Her rep said “she doesn’t want to name any names,” about her assailant.

The star was asked if it had taken her a long time to recover from the assault.“Yeah,” Carter said quietly, “and I am probably still.”

She described a shocking incident from the Wonder Woman set, saying: ““There was a cameraman who drilled a hole in my dressing room wall on the Warner Brothers lot.”

But the Peeping Tom was apprehended.“Yes. They caught him, fired him, and drummed him out of the business.” She did not name him.

Carter revealed “I fended off my share,” of other assaults, and explained why she didn’t report any of them.

“No, because who are you going to tell? Who you are going to tell except your girlfriends and your circle of friends?

“And so you would hear it from other people, other people would hear it from other people. ‘Watch out for so and so.’ That’s how you protected yourself: through the grapevine.”

“We were women’s lib, burn the bra. We weren’t going to take any shit from people. So we felt strong in that, but there were still not a lot of parts for us.”
