A Brisbane couple has been sent to prison after exploiting a Fijian woman for slave labour after trafficking her into the country.
She was trafficked into the country on a tourist visa and promised a longer visa by the couple, while making her work as a maid, nanny and cook for eight years until her escape.
Judge Leanne Clare says the woman’s human rights were “seriously compromised” and that the couple tried to enhance the quality of their own lives by oppressing another person.
The couple were sentenced to jail with a non-parole period of two years.
