The Modern Slavery Bill

from Maxim Institute Podcast Hosted by Maxim Institute Podcast

Can a bipartisan bill meaningfully reduce instances of modern slavery? In this episode, we speak with MP Greg Fleming about his Modern Slavery Bill and the process of bringing it before the House. He outlines how the bill evolved from a narrow amendment into a broader attempt to address forced labour within global supply chains. The conversation explores how modern slavery is defined and its connection to everyday consumption in New Zealand. It also examines whether measures like supply chain reporting can meaningfully reduce harm, or whether they risk falling short of their intent.
