My comments here may not sit well with some but the truth hurts.

Australias minimum wage is the problem. You simply cannot have someone who sweeps the street earning the same as a bus driver etc.

If you have a lower end job - you should be paid accordingly NOT a minimum wage.

It's our own stupid fault for protecting those who don't want to better themselves - they have little or no reason to.

IF you are a garderen and want more mooney - learn to drive a truck and move up the skills and pay scale. Still not enough, then go to TAFE and learn extra skills and get a better job with higher pay.

As it is now we reward bogans for having babies for Gods sake - that is sheer lunacy!!!

If you are going to drop the min wage make sure the cost of living falls in line with it otherwise it is a complete waste of time and will only send familys to the wall.
