‘Slave labour’ in Nelson ‘This challenges our moral standards and our ethical standards’

Charles Anderson Nelson is playing host to human rights abuses and slave labour when international seafarers visit our shores, says the chaplain tasked with offering them help. The revelations were laid bare by the then Mission to the Seafarers chaplain, Peter Akuhata, who recently told the Nelson City Council of the cases he had seen while in the job. “I have come across many cases where crew are not paid. Crew are not being fed and some of these guys are walking up and down Trafalgar St. It’s a massive problem.”
