Abstract
Stephen Howes has responded to our recent articles advocating for free movement of Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme workers between employers as a provision against exploitation, arguing that “free agency is not a PALM reform worth pursuing”. In this reply, we outline an alternative case that situates the freedom to change employers – what Howes terms ‘free agency’ – as both necessary from a human rights perspective and eminently workable in practice.
