Tourists claim farm pay rip-offCorey Sinclair

A NUMBER of touristworkers have complainedafter not being paid by theirformer employer.

According to the tourists,Joe Zappia, who was run-ning Territory Grapes, agrape farm in Ti Tree, askedthem to fill out tax declar-ation forms, but they alleg-

edly never received payslipsand only received a fractionof their pay with some re-ceiving none.

Mr Zappia is no longerconnected in any way withany of the grape farms inthe area.

A number of Mr Zappia’sworkers have made contactwith the Centralian Advo-

cate over the past few

months, expressing theiranger at not being paid.

French couple MarcoFiemozzi and AurelieDeloire forwarded us theiremail correspondence withMr Zappia, in which he ad-mits owing them paymentfor 16.5 hours work each.

‘‘Our next pay run is Wed-nesday September 26th,’’the email read. However the

payment was never made.

Tourists Corinna andMarkus Friese said they andfour other backpackers hadworked for Mr Zappia fromDecember 2012 to January2013. ‘‘Each of us has justreceived a small amount($400) of his payment andevery one of us is still wait-ing for another $2000,’’ theysaid. ‘‘One of us even re-

ceived no money at all. Weall signed a contract andfilled out the tax-file formsand wrote down our work-ing hours. Sadly we got nopayslip.’’

The Frieses contacted thefair work ombudsman inAdelaide, who told themthat Mr Zappia had left thecountry and cannot be con-tacted. ‘‘It looks like they

abandoned the case becausethey cannot contact him,’’Ms Friese said.

Sylvain Georges had asimilar story of being paidwhile she was there, butwhen it came time to leave —he didn’t pay her what wasowed. ‘‘(I did) two weeks ofwork for nothing,’’ she said.

Mr Zappia could not betracked down for comment.

Four stabbed in campFOUR victims weretaken to hospital after amultiple stabbing atWarlpiri Camp on Wed-nesday night.

Watch CommanderPeter Dash said policefound three victimswith cuts to the head

and one with a stabwound.

A female patient wasreportedly injured by afamily member. She re-ceived head injuries.

Police said the victimshave already been re-leased from hospital.
