Samson Vilvil Fare has visited farms in Queensland to talk to workers and employers, following reports Pacific Islanders were leaving their employers in the Bundaberg region in search of better pay.
"They didn't have enough working hours in what they were promised to have," Mr Fare said.
"This is one of the main issues … they're not making enough money."
Mr Fare said it was unclear what the consequences were for a worker's visa status if they absconded from an employer.
