even getting out under sail this winter...

We'll see...

You need to slow down Taddy, there's roses to smell!

Just so long as they're not at the end of vineyard rows at 7.15
on an icy winter morning with 1600 canes to cut or 50 panels to
prune at $11.30/hr because there's been no work for the last 6
months...

Does OZ have a minimum wage law? Just curious.....And is that rate of 11.30
a typical wage for a field laborer?

Actually Katie, I'd thought the min wage was $11.80/hr as of May this
year...could be mistaken though.

So what would the poverty level wage for a family of 4 be? (This is the
Human Resource manager asking....just making comparisons....)

Thanks Katy. Ozzy didn't know. So Taddys' $11.80 (AUS) would equal $8.26
(US) here? That's more than min. isn't it? Our shop guys make 12~15/hr.
