Labour's taken quick action on demands from thousands of Kiwi teens to counter modern slavery.

The students today delivered letters to Parliament - written at World Vision NZ Youth Conferences and universities.

Labour's Camilla Belich announced a draft bill today to set up an anti-slavery Commissioner.

National put a similar bill to the ballot this year. 

Belich says nothing currently addresses issues of modern slavery - so any start is a good one. 

"There'll be a chance to see whether that Commissioner is effective in their role, and a chance to look at whether there's more that needs to be done in that space."
