Peter Mares is the author of All Work, No Stay?, an analysis commissioned by SBS.
Author Peter Mares is a contributing editor with Inside Story Magazine and has spent many years analysing Australia's immigration trends.He has just completed research commissioned by SBS on the consequences of what he sees as a shift towards temporary migration.
While temporary migration has benefits, such as Australia's international education sector worth 27 billion dollars a year, he says there are costs associated with it too, in terms of the exploitation of migrant workers.
One example he notes is the underpayment of contract cleaners at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between 2009 and 2014.
It was a story first uncovered by SBS News that prompted an investigation by the Fair Work Ombudsman.
