Kaniva news recently published a story on problems faced by migrant workers in Austraia,
The story was headed ‘Migrant fruit and vegetable workers suffer from wage theft says new Australian report.’
You can find the story by clicking here.
The story was accompanied by a photograph supplied by Hon. Akosita Lavulavu showing her meeting with Tongan seasonal workers at Hillwood Berries Pty Ltd in Tasmania.
The photograph was used purely to illustrate the presence of Tongan workers in Australia.
It was not intended to suggest that Hillwood Berries is in any way connected with the issues raised in our report.
Kaniva news is happy to clarify this matter and has removed the photograph from the story.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
