A former ambassador has been ordered to pay a penalty of almost $100,000 after he employed a woman in "slave-like working conditions".
On Wednesday, a court stated Navdeep Suri Singh, who was the Indian High Commissioner to Australia at the time, hired a woman who undertook 17.5-hour days, seven days a week, with no leave.
Mr Suri did not pay the woman in Australia, rather, depositing a "paltry sum" equating to $9 per day to an account overseas.
