In a recent Fairfax Media report Australia post is linked to visa crime in the name of one of its contractors Mr Singh. Mr Singh is a billionaire contractor, known to drive Ferrari. But he is also known for one visa scam: employing students for money. Mr Singh has employed thousands of International students and has promised them a visa for work or for study.
But no such thing has happened. Heaps of students study at St Stephen's one of his schools and they work in Australia post retail outlets in Bundoora, Narre Warren and in outer suburbs. Many of the victims of the scam are Indian students.
The students fees at the college is $10000 but they received not much training. Instead they were asked to work full time for him at the postal places.
On the morning of the 5th of April the Federal police raided his home and arrested him. They also arrested two others and they confiscated the ferraris. The government cancelled his contracts.
Our response
Its great to see that this sort of thing is being investigated and stopped, but what about other things like illegal colleges all over Melbourne? We would like to see more closures of these as they are fake colleges. Students there are plenty of real colleges such as RMIT and Melbourne and Monash
In 2012 the workers union wrote to the Government asking for their intervention in this and to make sure that workers are paid fairly.
