(a) a reasonable person in the position of the victim would not consider himself or herself to be free:

(i) to cease providing the labour or services; or

(ii) to leave the place or area where the victim provides the labour or services; and

(b) the victim is significantly deprived of personal freedom in respect of aspects of his or her life other than the provision of the labour or services.

(2) Subsection (1) applies whether the coercion, threat or deception is used against the victim or another person.

(3) The victim may be in a condition of servitude whether or not:

(a) escape from the condition is practically possible for the victim; or

(b) the victim has attempted to escape from the condition.

(b) in any other case--imprisonment for 15 years.

.

Conducting a business involving servitude

(a) the person conducts any business; and

(b) the business involves the servitude of another person (or persons).

(b) in any other case--imprisonment for 15 years.

 

Business owners simply do not have the power to enforce Health laws as they fail to be authorised officers for the purpose of enforcement of the States Health Act. Simply ask if a business is imposing anything upon you ~ "Can you show me your instrument of delegation signed by the Chief Health Officer or authorised health officer giving you the necessary authority?"

In a recent Magistrates court ruling in NSW where a publican was fined $10,000 for not imposing Directions/legislation the Magistrate clearly stated ~

"... a publican is not an authorised officer and therefore can't tell his patrons to comply with Covid 19 directions  as issued by the state government ."
