A Fair Work Commission full bench ruled late on Wednesday that all farm workers were entitled to take home the minimum casual rate of pay, currently $25.41 an hour

A report by the McKell Institute, commissioned by the AWU for the case, quoted a German backpacker as saying he earned as little as $3 an hour during one shift and an average wage of $6.21 an hour. Labour suppliers also advertised rates of $60 a day.

But farmers love Island niggers

We don't need niggers

no one is going to pay them that much. this will shut down that industry because all the fucking cucks whining about profit margins will sell to china just like the dairy industry.

its difficult to feel sympathy for these clowns when they wont hire locals to do the job at the rate they import people for

No one is getting paid $18 as a Secci.

The Security Services Industry Award 2020.

If your getting $18 cash in the hand, find a new employer thats not a seppo.

Every industry should have a minimum wage so Australians can fill those roles, there is no need to pay someone $3 p/h, that's ludicrous.

Not 2 months ago, the majority of farmers were intentionally letting their fruit rot and passing the cost onto consumers because they wanted cheap labour from the pacific islands.

Knew it couldn't have been the USA.

Although actual real wages paid to farm immigrant workers have gotten so high that non immigrant is citizens will take the jobs when they aren't advertised.

In some areas 'non-immigrant citizens' can't get hired for minimum wage jobs because they don't speak spanish.

Sounds like a White needs to make a new machine.

This is the fucking thing I hate the most. I've watched a fair share of Landline. All the machines exist already. The farmers don't want to invest in buying them because they don't know how to run farms profitably and are too in debt already to take on the new investment debt. The only way these retards are able to survive is essential slave labour.

All people are ENTITLED to earn what they agree to. Government can eat a huge dick and choke on it.
