Submitted by julian ochoa on Fri, 2008-02-22 04:20International students all over Australia are working in the worse places and in the worse conditions. It is a problem that is getting out of hand, this is only benefiting managers that do not want to hire workers under legal circumstances.

Normalising poverty
Submitted by ayla on Sun, 2006-01-22 20:11Why should wealthy mothers be able to stay home and get welfare payments when poor single mothers have to go out and work for as little as $3 per hour?
Labour MP
I heard this on the radio today. I didn't manage to catch the name of the particular Labour MP.
Or maybe he could have should have said, 'Why should the average worker in Australia get paid $42000.00 when the average urban worker in China gets paid the equivalent of AUD$2000.00 a year?'1
Or maybe he could have should have said, 'Why should the average human being walk around on two legs when there are people who have to move around with no legs in a wheelchair?'
By making the income of 'poor, single, mothers' the standard against which all mothers' incomes are measured' this MP begs the question:Why is it acceptable for government parliamentarians to refer to 'poor, single mothers who have to go out and work for $3 an hour' without talking about what is being done to redress the exploitation of this economically vulnerable group of people?
