MODERN DAY SLAVERY IN DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS! How can such blatant perpetrators be representatives of a nation in a diplomatic mission? Aren't they an absolute disgrace to whom they represent? How do they get appointed and who is responsible? Isn't there any monitoring/evaluation/reporting structure? How can these incomprehensible situations be explained? Can Australia allow its domestic laws be violated in the disguise of a diplomatic mission?
"It's incredible to think that in the heart of Australia, that these sort of 19th-century practices are taking place," "I don't think it's any surprise that in those circumstances, there are people who are working for virtually no money in a number of different embassies and consular buildings across Australia," "She is aware of 20 workers who have escaped embassies."

Technically, an embassy is not part of the country it resides in but part of the country it represents. If the represented country pays but lip-service to human rights and laws aganst slavery, the slave-keepers give indeed an accurate representation of their home nation.
Taking steps against such behaviour would require Australia's Department of Foreign Relations to declare people like Pakistan's High Comissioner to Australia or an attaché to the Saudi Arabian Embassy "persona non grata" - which is a very strong measure in diplomacy and very likely to cause repercussions from the country that person represents, as diplomatic personnel usually hails from influential families who will act to get even for the loss of face they suffer back home.
