A backpacker hoping for a memorable working holiday on an Australian farm finds himself crammed into a house with 17 people, eating dry bread and deprived of sunshine and fresh air.
After arriving on a visa from China, the young man had headed to a small town on the NSW coast in 2024 to pick blueberries and was immediately slapped with a rental debt.
Three or more backpackers slept in each room of the residence, where the landlord set up security cameras to watch their every move and protested when they opened the garage to encourage light and ventilation.
