Other - Australia

Hi please help if you can!

I think my friend is getting ripped off at work!!

She's 23 years old

In Brisbane

Works part time at a 'well known' 24 hours convenience store for 8 months.

Her shift lasts from 3pm to 10 pm (7 hours) and on a roster.

However her pay slip always says that she have worked 3.4 hours (instead of 7 hours) @ $18.50 per hour.

So her last cheque was

3.4 x $18.50 = $62.90 dollars,

She worked for 7 hours so

$62.50/7 hours= $8.98/hour....

Her payslip also says AES Superannuation : $5.66

I helped her look at this website that says over 20 years old the minimum wage in Qld is $12.59 per hour:

http://www.wageline.qld.gov.au/awardsonline/qmw.html

Yet she is only getting $8.98 / hour

Whats really suss was that she have worked for 7 hours but her pay slip always says less then that (usually only 3.4 hours)

Same for other friends that work at that 24 hour place. Can anything be done?

Thanks in advance!

its a simple question...
yes/no why and why not??

Personally I do depending on where I am in town, I live in a good suburb and as such I tend to stick to areas that I know well....
Perth residents you know what I'm talking about with MRS Foster in Gosnells and Dexter Williams in Mandurah, has this made you feel less safe in Perth??

and other aussie residents do you feel safe where you currently live or are there reasons for why you dont feel safe at the moment??

if people from the eastern states dont know what I'm talking about when menching MRS Foster please feel free to email me and I shall explain, other than that I look forward to reading everyones answers.

cheers

I am African American female in America we are called “black people”. I am not racists towards any culture. I am just tired of America. I don’t want to move to Africa, I wanted to move to somewhere like Australia. Is Australians racists towards blacks as American are? I plan on moving in 2years after I finish school. Any advice is helpful.

Thanks for taking time out to answer my concerns !!!

Hey there, I'm from Auckland and am flying to Aus in December for a concert. I need to go to Perth, but I have plenty of time and was wondering if it might be cheaper to fly to Adelaide or something, and then bus to Perth. Is this a really silly idea? Return flights from Auck-Perth are over $1000 so I'm trying to figure out the cheapest option! Does anyone have any info on good bus rates?

I know, I know, odd question. My sister came back from Australia recently and gave me a boomerang. (she got another one for my brother, who is in boot camp.) The man who sold her the boomerangs warned, "If it comes back, duck.... fast."
I'm aware that boomerangs can be dangerous; my sister was lucky she got them out of the country at all. :-)
However, my grandma claims that a boomerang can cut off a man's head. I'm not too sure about that, and I didn't find much on the Internet. So I thought I would ask here.

My particular boomerang is about 1 foot wide, rather heavy and thick, and it's apparently more artsy than weaponsy. But I'd just like to be forewarned before I actually throw it. ^_^
That is, if I decide to throw it at all... (if I do, it'll be out in a field away from people.)
