It's been that way for at least a decade, idiot.

Oh you two are so profound. :re:
If your childish, abusive, racist, agist, entitlement attitude is anything to go by then the future is rather glum indeed. But I think the more likely scenario is that, in a fuck-or-be-fucked world, you are going to get your ass well and truly kicked.

good god this whole claim by the CFMEU is a load of shit.
having worked in the industry for years i can tell you that $150k/pa is NOT the typical wage in mining. you only get to that kind of salary at senior or specialist levels.
i'm guessing these workers are trades without mining experience, in which case $80k is probably close to the right wage. they neglect to mention what perks they get which can add up.
typically they will get housing paid for, medical and super on top of that.

Only problem is you haven't worked in the industry, and your claims about yourself are invention.

80k is about what one gets at bottom rung with no penalties out in bumfuck.

The thing that bemuses me is that it has been allowed to blow up as a big issue now. The legislation for EMAs was passed years ago, supported by Martin Ferguson etc. at the time. What's more the project in question is almost a template case for EMA, and the project will require nearly 8000 people, with the ability to sponsor up to 1500 migrants on an "as required" basis if local workers are not available.

The fact is these projects cannot get approved and funded by the creditors until they have (among a lot of other things) workforce guaranteed. If the project does not go ahead, then that's 6000+ less jobs for Australians.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

exactly, bottom rung in a bum fuck operation, what do you think these chinese workers are doing exactly? i note you don't disagree with me about the $150k being unrealistic. the truth is the article doesn't provide enough information, but the $150k claim screams bullshit.
your stance is confusing, you agree with me but doubt the fact i work in the industry??

Typical mine site workers, especially the ones that out in bumfuck tend to work something close to a double shift. That's how they get to 150k, now if you knew anything, you'd know that.
Now the Chinese seem to be on contract that means they work the long the hours but without penalty, effectively a base rate somewhere close to the Aus minimum wage. You think Aussies will work 6 shifts of 12 hrs and more in the back of beyond for 80k???? :bl:

Under the terms of the EMA, all the 457 visa workers (and the EMA merely allows some people who would not normally be eligible for 457 visas to get them) must be employed under the same conditions as the local workers.

Lenore Taylor, who was an absolute hottie around campus when I was at uni, and won the election for university newspaper editor by campaigning at the all-male colleges without a bra, worte a good story about it in the SMH.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.
