i do want to shift years now and talk a little bit about the workthat you've been doing in brisbon. Do you have any idea of what percentage of gig workers are temporary migrants or or emigrants in australia? To start off, we don't know. The current estimates are that eight or nine in ten food delivery workers are migrants. But bestly, it's mainly temporary migrants doing food delivery.
Paris Marx is joined by Tyler Riordan to discuss the state of the gig economy in Australia, the ongoing efforts to improve their conditions, and Tyler’s research on migrant food couriers in Brisbane.
