Australia's minimum wage is like $16.87 an hour for juniors. Adults and some other industries minimum wage goes up from there.
Go look at what this rate has cause to Australia.
1. High cost of living - food and utility bills, internet (which is slow anyway), paytv (min $40 a month for garbage base package, if you want the actual channels you do watch closer to $100 a month.)
2. High cost of buying a house/car/anything
3. High cost of video games (sure that could be grouped with 2 but we are gamers lol)
4. Manufacturing slowly closing down everywhere due to no longer being competitive with asian 3rd world countries. Meaning higher unemployment for blur collar workers.
5. Union who stir shit up and get people to strike for more cash and then companies pack up and leave and union reps suddenly no where to be found to help you once you lost your job
