Meanwhile people with degrees are slinging burgers at Macfries and Hungry Jills....
Maybe certain degrees and for how long ?
This is the thing I seem to be the only one pointing out minimum wage jobs are very transient for most. Why would you hang around in a minimum pay job unless you have capability issues which would be the minority.
In some areas minimum wage might be a living wage in most I assume it would not will never be ..... with or without the $50 the dodgy unions are asking for.
Its called minimum wage for a reason
In a lot of the tourist places like cairns, whitsundays, and the GC, that is pretty much all there is, crappy tourism jobs.
When your state government is destroy regional jobs and their greenie master are talking up low paying tourism jobs, it really narrows your options in life.
While I live in regional QLD, I haven't worked there for nearly 5 years and not by choice either. We have a massively incompetent state government who focuses solely on providing public service jobs in brisbane and incapable of anything else.
Sure there are many low paid jobs in tourism but there are high paid jobs, was up at Hartley's croc farm a few weeks back they seem to have smallish crocs there but the guys handling them would not be minimum wages, the lady at the main counter might be.
Yes your right if BS Shorten and the Arrogant greenies are going to appose Adani regardless of merit then sure the signs are not good for the future if this grub becomes PM !
Why should a government or opposition oppose a development on financial grounds ?
BS Shorten has been caught in a big loop of hypocrisy on this, sure the banks are not too keen on this project and the bad press the ALP is now whipping up really does not help ! Funny BS Shorten loved the project a while ago.
I prefer governments don't stick their nose in, if it makes sense investors / lenders will go in...... if not they won't ....... other than subsidies the government or opposition should not comment. Even if they offer subsidies they are usually contingent on the project progressing !
