My the press like to take her out of context.
I don't think she's saying Australians should work for $2 a day, she's merely pointing out that they don't live in a vacuum. It's a global economy. All our telecommunications and many other jobs have all moved to Indian and the Philippians because it's much cheaper to hire people there. Most of our manufacturing industry has left our country to go to countries with cheap labour and poor regulations. It seems Australian has lost some great mining opportunities because it's not profitable enough to be there. So she's right to question it. However, she seriously needs to hire handers so she's not being crucified every week.
