A tiny beachside community in northern NSW says it is “under siege” after its caravan park began housing hundreds of migrant farm workers, with residents claiming they are “outnumbered three-to-one” and “living in fear” amid a rise in violent incidents and sexual harassment.

Outnumbered by Islanders -

“We are outnumbered probably three-to-one by the labour workers. It’s like the Wild West, these big six-foot-three Pacific Islander blokes on this rampage. It’s supposed to be a dry site, it’s absolutely not. They are, for want of a better word, s**tfaced most of the time.”

We aren't allowed to have our own territory, we have no option but wait to be killed.
