It's about the same as here, really, then. I reckon real pay in Australia has halved in the 22 years i've lived there!. The simple reason for that is that nobody joins a union any more! People have been sucked in by the lies and propaganda that's been spread about unions by the rich and powerful media bosses - and they wonder why they're worse off . Meanwhile the bosses are lauging all the way to the bank, and getting paid stupid money, like they've never been paid before.. Hi Amanda,

At 15, kaali started out on $8 and if you stayed on you got gradual rises. Even now her job that she does to make ends meet for uni pays $16 and she is 22. Inflation is rife here also and has been since the introduction of the GST hey will regarding the minimum wage for 16 – 17 year olds from my experience that is all they get paid here too. sometimes even less, big chain fast food stores pay i think $6.40 an hour!

I don't get how this government has the nerve to keep calling itself 'Labour'. It's a joke!
