...the name of a white wine that is very dry and full bodied that is made in Australia that has a slightly higher than average alcohol content? It was a great wine, and I have lost contact with my friend. I love to have some for the holidays.

My partner was supposed to be on a contract as of December 2006. She was a grill cook at a restaurant in Picton, NSW. After 10/11 months of trying to "get her contract", she was finally told she was going to get put on a normal wage, for eg, hourly rates.

You see, she was working the minimum 76 hour fortnight plus on average, working 3 to 4, sometimes 8 hours overtime each fortnight.

For 11 months, she was only getting paid for 76 hours, and even then she was being underpaid about $60 to $70 per fortnight.

She went to industrial relations about it and they have come to the conclusion she is owed just over $1500. My stepson is owed a little over $2500.

The business has now been sold and my partner has been working for the new owner (he is a former employe), since November 19.

My partner has been getting harrassed, intimidated and humiliated by the new (and former) owner because she took a stand for her and everyone elses entitlements.

What do you think is right?

My partner and I would like to take my parents to Xmas Lunch rather than have them spend the day at home.

We are willing to travel and cost is not the main consideration (although it IS a consideration, lol). We are looking for a seafood buffet, NOT a set menu.

We used to go to The Ranch Hotel (was El Rancho years ago) at Marsfield, but they've changed to a set menu this year, and it sounds very ordinary. Such a shame, it was a great way to spend Xmas Day!

So, somthing about that standard would be good ~ nice but not the Four Seasons, lol.

Any suggestions welcome :-)

are you aware of ordinary foods when you eat in a restaurant? have you try asking yourself that this food might be bought from supermarket.

Both of them are at the Hobart waterfront. I personally think that Fish Frenzy is better, how about you?

I've just moved to Perth and am so upset that Western Australian is the only state without a Starbucks! I think we have just as much right as any other place in Australia, especially since today Perth is the fastest growing city in the country and is currently the most expensive city in Australia to live in. Don't you think it's entitled to a Starbucks then? Does any know if there are plans in the works to bring the franchise here?

Hi, i was wondering what kind of money you can earn as a head chef of a restaurant in melbourne. The restaurant is in Brighton and its very nice but not super classy. Im not sure what the weekly turnover is but a main would cost about $30 to give you an indication.

Looking for places where families are made really welcome to enjoy the ritual of sharing a meal together - rather than the kids being treated as a nuisance by the staff.
