BBC may need to check their sources. Min wage is now $22.86 for casual employees and has been since 1st July 2017. This is nothing new and it’s not just backpackers being ripped off.

If they’re investigating wage theft, it may also be a good idea to investigate the grotesquely enormous salaries of CEOs. Australia without backpackers will be such a boring country as it was for the last 100 years. Nanny state where most of the people never left the country and they don’t know lifes outside of it. Keep your country there and stay isolated as usual, could be better for everyone. To be fair though it’s that big they don’t really need to leave.

When employees become too ‘expensive’ then employers/big business will encourage their governments to supply cheaper labour from whatever source. In the UK we’ve been getting cheaper labour from Eastern Europe for years now…cheaper for big business…but expensive for society in general. It’s all about the mandatory farm work for 2nd year visa. Girls get it worse IMO as they get made to do 14hr shifts packing when at least guys can get outside & move around a bit.

A lot of backpackers see it as ‘a bit of extra cash’ while traveling (its $11 more than they were expecting to get)! Plus, many backpackers purposely head out to farms so that their visas can be renewed.It’s never good to pay a single mother of 5 below minimum wage. That is definitely an issue. However, paying a holidaying backpacker a bit of extra cash that they would not have otherwise been paid during their holiday is a completely different matter, which should be settled in private.

I’ve travelled my whole life. And, if there were a couple of spare days in which someone asked me to work for less than $10 an hour, I would have done it, without question or hesitation – what a fun thing to do to meet people and gain a cool experience, when I would otherwise earn nothing (and pay some) to see another museum. You don’t think foreign imports, working at half the minimum wage, has an impact on the labour market.

We know what is going on and has been for ages!! And still nothing done !!!to stop exploitation of backpackers et al. Whistler in Canada has the Christmas It’s The Most Wonderful Time For A Beer Sweater problem with Aussie imports driving wages way down and rental accommodation prices way up. Many many many backpackers are completely aware of the low wages and do it anyway. As in, they make conscious, informed decisions to work for $11 an hour. Hold on a moment.
