I live in Regional QLD and I can tell you where I live most of the big corporations here pay the absolute minimum wage. If it wasn't for awards there would be a lot more people on minimum wage. Watch the Liberals get rid of awards and lower the minimum wage. Its no mistake that the head of business for the Liberal Government is comparing Australia's minimum wage with Canada and the U.S..
The cost of living in this country is so high if they reduce the minimum wage then they will have to pay more welfare.
Compare our cost of living to the U.S Fuel/Power/Food/Vehicles/Housing/
FUEL AUST = $6.75 p/gallon 1.50cents p/litre FUEL U.S. = $3.179 p/gallon 0.76cents p/litre
