kevinhere (of blogster--he is on my subscription and buddy list if you would like to read his very interesting blogs about his life, past and present, in Australia), from Australia, answered my question when I asked him what servers make in Australia with the following comment:
"BLOODY HELL!-----here the minimum rate for the lowest paid is $12 an hour and if the boss don't pay it --when you leave you can sue him through the government agency for back pay---the $12 is set by the industrial court and increases periodically by inflation-----on top of that 9% of wage is mandatory for the boss to place in your superfund towards your retirement"
I think he is still rolling on the floor with laughter when I told him what the minimum wage was here and what servers get paid. T'aint funny, folks!
