A WEEK IN A FOOTSCRAY SWEATSHOP
By Philip RobertsWrote this and the last poem after watching a documentary about Asian sweatshops, which ended by saying that we had not had such sweatshops in Australia since the 1960s. Wrong! I worked in horrific sweatshops in the 1970s and early '80s, and they still exist in and around Melbourne to this day!
