$17.70 minimum wage in Australia, means you also get PAID 4 weeks leave, PLUS 8 days paid sick leave. PLUS 9% on top going towards your retirement. Low-income earners are also entitled to social security benefits and discounts/concessions FOR LIFE unless their earnings become too high. Low-income earners can also get student loans from the government to go to trade school, community college or university and study for free AND don’t have to pay back a cent unless their income goes over $54,000 (AUD) https://youtu.be/uZ81oGEmE4I
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT DURING THIS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TIME THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD AT LEAST TAKE A LITTLE PITTY ON US ON INCOME ASSISTANCE ,BUT NO , BUT TO GIVE STUDENTS MONEY THAT ARE LIVING AT HOME??/ I DONT GET IT THEY MAYBE
AND THE STUDENTS SHOULD REVERSE THE PAYMENTS AND GIVE US THE 1750 AND THE STUDENTS 567 AT HOME WITH PARENTS BUT THOSE OF US WHO PAY RENT, AND ALL THAT GOES WITH BEING ON YOUR OWN….ON TOP OF THAT…NO BUSSES RUNNING, I CANT GET CTV ON MY TV ANYMORE,I AM AT TIMS OUTSIDE TO USE WIFI TO WRITE THIS, LIKE MAN THIS IS NOT LIVING AT ALL, HECK IT ISNT SURVIVING EITHER, OH YEAH AND IF U HAVE NO CHILDREN YOU DONT GET NOTHIN EXTRA,THE 1 TIME 300 IS LONG GONE,NOW I HAVE TAXI BILL SO , I DONT KNOW HOW WE WILL SURVIVE AND WE WILL NEVER EVER LIVE.
