Each year Australia imports a whopping $US4 billion worth of clothes and accessories that may be tainted by slave labor. The Global Slavery Index 2018, published by the Walk Free Foundation last week, ranks the garment industry as the second largest category of imports that are at-risk of being produced by victims of modern slavery.
